The Australianの記事、'Japan poll outcome threatens instability'から。
'THE centre-left government of Japan's new Prime Minister Naoto Kan has lost its narrow majority in parliamentary upper house elections.
The overnight result spells the threat of legislative paralysis in Japan.
The government was not immediately threatened, because it holds a majority in the more powerful lower chamber, but the result makes it more difficult to pass laws and will force it to seek new coalition partners.
The election defeat - the first test at the ballot box since Mr Kan's party swept to power under a previous leader in a landslide poll last year - complicates Kan's ambitious reform plans for the world's number two economy.
“Sincerely accepting the election results, I feel like I'm standing at the starting line again,” Mr Kan said in a post-midnight press conference'.
