message: Would it be possible for a Japanese speaker to check the numbers for the 2019 election against the link cited? Specifically the number of votes won by "Others (five parties" looks incorrect (79,398,217 votes for consituencies, and 450,501,748 for proportional, when the total was 51 million) 194.82.172.26 (talk) 09:58, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Can someone please elaborate on these "historical reasons?" - Sekicho 21:27, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
Iwakura's mission, as I was taught, included comparing the various governments in Europe and the USA.  Of the German, US and British systems, the best was considered to be the British.Elijahmeeks 18:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is basically true, though over time the government was made to resemble the German Imperial system more and more. So you can trace elements of both British and German influence in the system. For example, the coutr system is decidedly continental (it is not the British adversarial system with jurors), while the parliamentary system more closely remsembles the British.

replies: text: I'm only familiar with the history regarding the inspiration for the system and not its eventual evolution.  I'd assume, if it hasn't been done already, those two sentences (One on Iwakura and one on the evolution of the system toward the German Imperial system) would adequately address Sekicho's request.

thread_title:  "For historical reasons, the system is similar to that in the United Kingdom" 

message: The section on (New) Komeito contains the following:
*Because it is partners with the LDP, it is unopposed to the war in Iraq.
I believe this is inaccurate. Komeito was (is), IIRC, opposed to the war, but it either shelved its opposition or was unable to do anything about the war because of its position as a member of the ruling coalition. To write that it is unopposed to the war because it is partners with LDP is misleading, as it is neither unopposed nor is there any cause-and-effect relationship involved here. I'm no friend of Komeito, but let's be fair. This comment sounds like an emotive conclusion: "Komeito is partners with LDP, ergo it [must be=] is unopposed to the war." I think the situation is far more complicated than that.... Jersey_Jim 14:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: What is the stub for this topic

message: The government section of the "Outline of Japan" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.
When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process.  Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.
Please check that this country's outline is not in error.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .
Thank you.
