This huge mandate is enough to shut up any special interest groups.

But I have to admit that I am surprised. I did not expect him to win by this much.

There are many things to do including addressing the pension system, our education system, increasing the birth rate.

He has got the trust of the people and I hope he keeps it.

I have to admit that I am a little concerned about the possibility that the LDP leadership will become complacent. The party has a history of inertia once it gets past obstacles.

But after such a historic victory, the country is watching.
