Great victory in Japan

Opposition Democratic Party wins election in landslide！
The largest opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) scored a landslide victory in general election. The DPJ is set to take over the reins of government, putting an end to the 10-year-old coalition government comprised of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). DPJ leader Y. Hatoyama will be elected prime minister at a special Diet session. The ruling coalition suffered a humiliating defeat with its pre-election strength plunging from 331 to 140. The focal point of general election was if the DPJ would take over the reins of government, or would the LDP coalition stay in power. Following the massive defeat, Prime Minister T. Aso said he would resign as LDP president. "I must assume responsibility for the election outcome" he said. The DPJ won 308 seats, the LDP 119. I think it’s a good and hopeful end to Japan, even to LDP.
