We know the LDP can't reform the bureaucracy. We have no idea if the DPJ can. So it's a choice between the certainty of no reform and the possibility of some.

    Well, even by that description the DPJ is the better deal.

    we have a pretty good idea the dpj can't as well...maybe give the communists a shot at it, they could hardly be any worse

    Not much a choice now is it....

    Can't see the beuracracy or financial sector being reformed any time soon unfortunately. Lack of reform is holding Japan back
