According to the last election results, Yukio Hatoyama became Japan's next Prime Minister. This is a great success, because this politician and his party, Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) overturned the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which governed Japan almost without interruption for 54 years. He promised that free education, addition to minimum wage of Japan, reduction to Petrol Taxes, establishing an Asian Union as European Union, creating common monetary unit between Asian countries, etc. All of these helped Hatoyama to win elections. On the other hand, you can ask why LDP lost the elections. The answer is simple, poor governing in the economic crisis, sending Japan soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan, blunders of PM Taro Aso, etc.
