In my albeit limited understanding: The older generation completely dominates voting policies, and the younger (Sub 25) generation is mostly indifferent towards politics.<p>As reference Shinzo Abe, and the Japanese Prime Minister, the man behind Abeconomics is fairly unpopular among the younger generation (Citation needed, this is something I mostly understood from forums), and he still won his re-election.<p>Again the above should be taken with a grain of salt, as most of my interactions with the Japanese are done through a couple of forums, which could lead to a very skewed perspective.
