In July, Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won control of both houses of parliament – a resounding electoral victory that amounts to the strongest political mandate any Japanese leader has received in many years. As a result, Abe seems likely to remain in power longer than his ineffectual predecessors, most of whom did not last more than a year.
7月，安倍所在的自由民主党（LDP）得到了议会两院的控制权——这次彻底的选举胜利带来了多年以来日本领导人最强的政治权力。因此安倍的掌权时间似乎会超过他徒劳无功的前任，他们中的多数人在任时间只有短短1年多。
