The DPJ has made a career out of being the naysayer opposition party to the LDP, and has recently had some success in eroding public support for its political rival, capitalizing on issues like a problem with pensions in which millions of dollars in public money disappeared, and a tainted rice scandal involving the Ministry of Agriculture.
