Foul-weather friends
Article Abstract:
Japan's economic difficulties are serving to boost support for the Japan Communist Party. This party is also benefiting from declining support for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and from frequent changes in opposition alliances. The party is now considering joining a coalition government before the end of the 1990s. However, some observers believe that it will remain on the periphery of Japanese politics as long as it retains its Marxist-Leninist image.
