Possible shortest PM reign ever? If DPJ wins, will Japan change it ways and at least from government standpoint become a less-bigoted nation and stop the whole "gaijin" thing and strutting around with an inflated ego? --TUFKAAP 17:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I understand correctly, the House of Representatives is not due for a scheduled election until 2009. It can happen sooner if the PM disolves it. Given the current popularity, I don't think Shinzo Abe is going to call early elections. --SVTCobra 18:10, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
