The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) plans to compile as early as this spring a new perspective on the country¡¯s security legislation, which tolerates exercising the right to collective self-defense.
The party may consider reviewing a clause in its basic policy platform that calls for abolishing what it claims are unconstitutional parts of the legislation enacted in 2015.
The move is designed for the CDP to demonstrate its ¡°realistic approach¡± in a bid to seize power as well as to join forces with the Democratic Party for the People (DPP) and Komeito, both of which are tolerant of the security legislation.
