House of Representatives Election 2014.
Democrats are sluggish
December 14, 2014, Tokyo, Japan - Glum-looking Banri Kaieda, leader of the Democratic Party of Japan, gives a TV interview at the party election headquarters in Tokyo as early returns from Sunday's general election indicate the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's landslide victory on December 14, 2014. The LDP will likely secure a majority in the parliament's lower chamber as voters gave Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a fresh mandate to forge ahead with his economic policy. Kaieda himself lost a seat in his own constituency. (Photo by AFLO) UUK -mis-
