What are the mainstream political views of the Japanese people?

Question:


Like liberal or conservative.I'm a anarchist who believes in the welfare state.

Answer:


Liberal or Conservative? Japanese politics is not that simple.
But, extremely simply speaking for you, two main issues in Japanese politics today are:
1) Social welfare (for aging society) - Domestic issue.
2) National security (against the thread from DPRK, PRC and Russia) - International relations.
Unfortunately, none of our political parties in Japan has a firm and convincing principle to deal with these issues, which makes majority of Japanese voters disappointed and flee from politics.
