In the recent election in Japan, the ruling coalition has achieved a remarkable feat of winning more than two-thirds of the seats. This rare supermajority illustrates the level of public support for the current administration. The results indicate that significant policy changes, which were previously challenging to implement, might now be pushed forward more smoothly due to the strengthened political base.
Japanese citizens care deeply about stability and continuity. The supermajority obtained by the ruling party reassures the populace of a seamless policy implementation and potential constitutional amendments. This dramatic result also arguably reflects the public's desire for strong leadership amidst global uncertainties.
In US or EU, a supermajority in parliament or congress is seen as a powerful mandate for the ruling party or coalition. It's rare and can lead to significant policy shifts. However, the political landscape is typically more polarized, and the likelihood of achieving supermajority is less than in Japan due to their multi-party systems.
