Japan's influential political party, Ishin no Kai, has announced that they're set to pursue a course of cooperation from outside the cabinet, rather than seeking a place within it. This move is considered strategic in order to broaden their influence on national policy discussions and decisions. No official date for implementation of this approach has been specified as yet.

In the Japanese political system, parties not directly included in the cabinet perform significant roles. By opting to remain outside the cabinet, Ishin no Kai aims to exert influence without the constraints and responsibilities that come with cabinet positions. It accords with Japan's ethos that values consensus-building in decision-making processes.

Compared to US or EU politics, there's a greater emphasis on coalitions and partnerships in Japan due to its multiparty system. In the US or EU, though coalition politics do exist, it's not uncommon for a single party to dominate the government, reducing the extent of direct cooperation seen in Japan.
