The national government is a Constitutional Monarchy in which the Emperor exercises no real power. The power in Japan is held by the Prime Minister and the cabinet.
The Japanese Legislature (called the Diet, after the old Bismarck era German legislature) is divided into two houses, a House of Representatives (the lower house) and a House of Councillors (the upper house). The lower house is the more powerful of the two, and is the house where legislation is crafted and voted on first. The Prime Minister is a member of the lower house. The upper house has veto power, but is often overruled by the lower house.
Japan has the Liberal Democratic Party (center-right and often nationalist), the Democratic Party (center left), the New Komeito Party (pacifist party, coalition member with the LDP), the Socialist Party, and the Communist Party as major parties. However, since the 1950s, the LDP has enjoyed nearly unbroken control of both houses, only having been out of power in the lower house once (briefly in the early 90s following a major scandal) and the upper house once (currently).
Japan's legislators are elected in districts with multiple seats per district.
Previously, voters were given one vote each regardless of the number of seats in the district, and if, for example, a district had four seats up, the top four vote getters would be elected. This had been viewed as a means of keeping one party in power, as they had the ability to run multiple candidates, split the vote and still get most of the seats. More recently, Japan has changed to a system where voters would get the same number of votes per district as there were seats and also having a set number of seats that would be distributed amongst the parties based on the parties' national vote totals. The idea was to increase the representation of minority parties.
