TOKYO – Japan's Prime Minister Taro Aso conceded defeat in elections Sunday as media exit polls indicated the opposition had won by a landslide, sending the conservatives out of power after 54 years of nearly unbroken rule amid widespread economic anxiety and desire for change.
"These results are very severe," Aso said in a news conference at party headquarters, conceding his party was headed for a big loss. "There has been a deep dissatisfaction with our party."
Aso said he would have to accept responsibility for the results, suggesting that he would resign as party president. Other LDP leaders also said they would step down, though official results were not to be released until early Monday morning.
The left-of-center Democratic Party of Japan was set to win 300 or more of the 480 seats in the lower house of parliament, ousting the Liberal Democrats, who have governed Japan for all but 11 months since 1955, according to exit polls by all major Japanese TV networks.

These dudes/dudettes have been screaming about what the LDP has been doing for so long, I seriously doubt if they have any effective plans of they're own. As a minimum, will they have anything that is going to be welcomed abroad that will do anything for the economy? I will be seriously surprised if they do. They have already alienated certain elements within the US and other governments with comments that some have considered anti-US, and indications that some of there factions want to seriously alter, or even sever the Security Pact with the US in favor of establishing the Japan Military. Be this all as it may, whatever happens, it is definitely going to get interesting.
It's been so easy for them to sit on the left side of the aisle screaming about what's wrong and what's been a failure. Now they're going to have to sit on the right and lead, while everybody yells at them.....
Big difference.
