| | Katsuya Okada, leader of the DPJ, laid out his party's impressive electoral gains in this month's Upper House elections and looked ahead to the next Lower House parliamentary polls, to be scheduled by 2007. | | | Rebuffing the suggestion of a DPJ-New Komeito coalition and stressing the DPJ's gradual and staggered "hop, skip, jump" electoral strategy for power, Okada was somewhat irked by the sudden barrage of questions about New Komeito and that the DPJ might need its help. | | | This perhaps suggests that the future lies in a consolidation of votes around the LDP, DPJ and New Komeito. |
