Liberal Democratic Party

In the 1930’s and 40’s, Japan became more prominent in the global stage due to its participation in the attack on Pearl Harbor (1941) and the U.S. coordinated Hiroshima bombings (1945) during the World Wars (Japan, 2016). Since the 1950’s, Japan has been recognized as one of the strongest economies in

The Growth of the Labour Party and the Decline of the Liberal Party At the end of World War One in November 1918 the Labour Party emerged as a strong political Party. Prior to this it was the Liberal Party that was expected to be the main opposition to the Conservatives, with Labour as a party who used the popularity of the Liberals to become noticed.

Their allegiance to the Liberal Party began to fracture during the Home Rule debate and consequential to some

There is political dynasty when members of the same family or clan has dominated or occupied elected positions either in sequence for the same position, or simultaneously across different positions, this is now a problem in Philippine politics that the government itself cannot solve.
