Abe to push reform of Japan's pacifist constitution after election win
VIDEO:
A DECISIVE win in the Japanese election has given Prime Minister Shinzo Abe renewed impetus to walk away from the country’s 70-year pacifist stance as the threat from North Korea increases.
Mr Abe’s conservative Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner commands two thirds of the Japanese lower house after Sunday’s parliamentary elections, which he called a year earlier than expected, capitalising on the disarray among his political opponents.
The political gamble has paid off handsomely, with Mr Abe claiming a mandate to push ahead with his plan to change the Japanese constitution to explicitly legalise the Japanese military.
While Mr Abe has framed the move as a necessary step to protect the nation and its allies from the growing threat of North Korea military aggression, critics such as China say it shows Japan is reverting to militarism. Public opinion on opening up the military is split, with many Japanese fearful that constitutional change could see the nation drawn into international conflicts.

WHY IT WOULD BE SUCH A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE
If Mr Abe is successful in pushing this change over the line, it would be the first amendment to the Japanese constitution since it was enacted in 1947 under pressure from the US in the wake of the horrors of World War II.
