If the glue which has held the LDP together all these years has been political power, an LOP loss of its Diet majority might encourage some LDP members to bolt the party and provide the numbers necessary to bring a centrist coalition (and themselves) to power. Because of the seniority system that regulates the recruitment of LOP Diet men into cabinet and high party positions, some younger members of the party might try to seize the opportunity provided by the LOP's loss of its Diet majority to move into high office quickly by joining in coalition with opposition groups.
7 Only in the 19 58 election did the JSP run more candidates than the number necessary to secure a Diet majority. The steady decline in its popular vote has forced it to reduce the number of endorsed party candidates, creating a [32] DOMESTIC POLITICS AND JAPANESE FOREIGN POLICY situation in which only the LOP runs enough candidates to obtain a Diet majority.
