Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe ? Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe  head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party  leaves a news conference at the partyâs headquarters in Tokyo on Oct. 23. (Kiyoshi Ota/Bloomberg News)
On Sunday  Japanâs Liberal Democratic Party won a landslide victory  winning 284 of the 465 seats in the lower house of the Diet. Prime Minister Shinzo Abeâs junior coalition partner  Komeito  added 29 seats  giving the ruling coalition a two-thirds supermajority.
In addition to freeing the LDP from a mandatory ballot challenge before 2021  Abeâs election victory provides new support for  his  efforts to amend Japanâs pacifist constitution.
 Abe  went into the election arguing that  his  track record on the economy and national security should be the decisive factor  and voters appear to have agreed. Japan faces new security challenges from two of its neighbors. North Korean missiles have passed over Japan twice in recent months  leaving Japanese citizens rattled by early-morning text alerts. And at the recent Communist Party Congress in Beijing  President Xi Jinping promised that China would be âmoving closer to center stage â raising additional concerns in Japan.
The ruling coalitionâs supermajority ensures not only that  Abe  will remain in power  but also that  he  can now push for a revision of Japanâs constitution   his  personal pledge and an unfulfilled element of the LDP platform since 1955. Although many in the public remain skeptical of the constitutional revision plan  the LDPâs success in this election represents an endorsement of the ruling coalitionâs governing ability  particularly on security issues.

There may also be debates within the ruling coalition on the need for Japan to deploy its own surface-to-surface missiles to enhance deterrence vis-a-vis North Korea.  Abe  has not taken a public stand on these âcounterstrike capabilities â which would to give Japan the ability to neutralize North Korean ballistic missiles on their launchpads. This would be an abrupt change from a postwar defense policy that has remained strictly defensive  with few offensive capabilities.
 Abe  will also continue moderate spending increases on Japanâs air and naval capabilities in an attempt to counter Chinaâs much higher spending on the Peopleâs Liberation Army. The numerical balance of fighter aircraft and surface combatants has been steadily shifting in Chinaâs favor for decades.
More recently  however  Xi has begun streamlining the PLA to strengthen its war-fighting effectiveness in preparation for a potential conflict in the Western Pacific.  Abe  knows that maintaining deterrence will require closer cooperation with the United States and continued reforms to break down the postwar barriers to the effectiveness of Japanâs own forces.
Will  Abe  revise Japanâs constitution?
Two years ago   Abe  pushed through a reinterpretation of the constitution to allow new defense guidelines and operations with the United States and other like-minded states. Many in  his  party support revising the second half of Article 9 to declare that Japanâs military is constitutional  though intended only for self-defense.
Support from pacifist-leaning coalition partner Komeito will probably be forthcoming  and friendly governments such as the United States and Australia are likely to be supportive as well. China will protest  as might South Korea  but polls elsewhere in the region suggest that Japan has moved beyond its wartime image. Nevertheless  Article 9 is highly political and ideological;  Abe  will have to carry out  his  promise to build domestic consensus before proceeding.
Despite President Trumpâs harsh rhetoric about Japan during  his  election campaign   Abe  has deftly engaged with the new administration in Washington and managed to build significant trust with Trump.  Abe  was the first foreign leader to visit Trump  and Trump will start  his  first Asia tour by spending several days in Japan in November.
Trumpâs tough line on North Korea is likely to be well received in Japan  but  his  hostile view toward trade (particularly the rejection of the Trans-Pacific Partnership) continues to perplex Tokyo. Japanese leaders argue that allies should be leading on rulemaking to manage the mercantilist challenge from China.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hugo Chavez ? President Hugo Chavez suspended rolling blackouts in Venezuela's capital a day after they began and sacked his electricity minister  saying government officials imposed a rationing plan riddled with mistakes.
Caracas
 Chavez's announcement late Wednesday was a significant shift in his attempts to avoid a widespread power collapse in the coming months through rolling blackouts of up to four hours a day throughout the country. Other rationing measures are to remain in place  including outages in other areas.
 "I have ordered the electrical outages to be suspended  only in Caracas " Chavez said on state television. "Because this government has to be capable of recognizing mistakes made and fixing them in time."
 The rolling blackouts have been unpopular in a city already plagued by violent crime  traffic and trash-strewn streets  and opposition leaders accused Chavez on Thursday of backtracking to try to head off damage to his political support.
 But the president cited tactical errors instead  saying power was cut in the wrong sectors of the city in some cases.
 "I think in one area they repeated the outage a few hours later " he said. He added that some stoplights also went dark.
 "Enough. I said if that's what is going on  there was an error there " Chavez said.
 Chavez said he asked Electricity Minister Angel Rodriguez to resign and that "he has taken it like a soldier."
 Chavez said he ordered the blackouts "interrupted indefinitely" in Caracas and told the city's state electric utility not to schedule any more until the process is reviewed. It was unclear when or if the government may attempt to restart the measures.
 Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma  a Chavez opponent  said the government was forced to call off rationing in the metropolitan area of about 6 million people because it was highly unpopular. He urged Venezuelans to join a protest later this month against faulty public services  water and electricity rationing and a currency devaluation expected to drive up already-soaring inflation.
 Chavez announced he was calling off the blackouts in Caracas just hours after he urged Venezuelans to accept the cutbacks and likened them to a national energy diet. He called a late-night talk show to announce the change shortly before some parts of Caracas were to begin four-hour outages at midnight.
 Chavez has fended off criticism that his government has failed to complete enough power upgrades to keep up with increasing demand  saying the drought is the primary culprit and that his government is acting to extend the Guri Dam's capacity to feed the electrical grid. Rains are expected to return at the end of the traditional dry season in May.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jeffrey Tambor ? Trace Lysette plays Shea on Amazon Studios' Transparent  one of my favorite shows. Lysette says the star of the show   Jeffrey Tambor   sexually harassed and assaulted  her  during the second season.
According to Lysette  when she emerged from wardrobe in her costume â a salmon-colored lingerie top and matching  short-shorts â Tambor  remarked  "My God  Trace. I want to attack you sexually." Alexandra Billings  the third actor in the scene  was present to hear the remark  she confirms. Both "laughed it off because it was so absurd " Lysette says.
A few minutes later  while waiting for a camera setup between takes  Lysette was standing in a corner of the soundstage set. That's when she says  Tambor   dressed as Maura  wearing a green satin kimono and gray wig  approached her.
" He  came in close  put  his  bare feet on top of mine so I could not move  leaned  his  body against me  and began quick  discreet thrust back and forth against my body. I felt  his  penis on my hip through  his  thin pajamas " Lysette says.
Lysette pushed  Tambor  away and "rolled my eyes." Billings was not present for this alleged incident  and several crewmembers were nearby "but they were focused on their jobs. It was discreet. If you were behind  Jeffrey  you might have thought  he  was giving me a hug."
