Liberal Democratic Party

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is a major political party in Japan that generally supports conservative policies, economic growth, and strong international relationships. Founded in 1955, it has been a dominant force in Japanese politics for decades, often shaping government policies on defense, economy, and social issues. The LDP typically emphasizes stability, tradition, and gradual reform, appealing to voters who value economic development and national security. While it advocates for free-market principles, it also supports social programs and national interests, playing a central role in Japan’s political landscape.
