Okada just won in the run-off, by playing up lefty policies

@EPG, the DJP's main problem is it is too ideologically inconsistent beyond being anti-LDP. They really need to let the JIP go.

well, the problem is that once they get into power they're completely moribund and start collapsing into factions. At least the LDP are united in the sheer determination to protect established interests. (I think the LDP are closest you will come to an undiluted small-"c" conservative party)

Weirdly enough - seeing as how terrible the DJP did last time - they aren't in a terrible place. They've jettisoned jokers and ill-placed wings. Ozawa's revolt failed. The JIP and PFG aren't going to destroy them - they haven't lost their status as the dominant opposition party. All they need now is some, err, policies.
