Your Party
Template:Infobox Japanese Political Party Your Party (みんなの党, Minna no Tō) is a Japanese political party. Lead by Yoshimi Watanabe, who split from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the party was founded on August 8, 2009 after Prime Minister Aso dissolved the lower house. A concept behind the party is to make the government more democratic, and to eliminate control of the government by non-elected members established in the bureaucracy. In this respect Watanabe has repeatedly stated that his position is compatible with the Democratic Party of Japan, leaving room for a potential formation of a coalition against the current ruling party, the LDP.
The party plans on fielding 13 candidates in the upcoming August general elections.[1]
