The Tomorrow Party, founded about a month ago to unite anti-Noda forces to the left of the LDP, will break up.

It looks like Ichirō Ozawa will take most of their elected members and probably re-join the DPJ, which just elected a new leader who's close to Ozawa.

The rump Tomorrow Party will be strongly left-wing but only have 2 or 3 elected members.

Actually, those two Green Breeze representatives both subsequently switched to the Tomorrow Party and run unsuccessfully for re-election under that banner.

The Green Breeze Party has gotten a new representative though. Shizuka Kamei, former LDP leadership candidate and People's New Party leader, who had just been elected for the Tomorrow Party.
