Your Party (みんなの党 Minna no Tō ?) is a Japanese political party. Led by Yoshimi Watanabe, who split from the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the party was founded on August 8, 2009 after then-Prime Minister Aso dissolved the lower house. A concept behind the party is to make the government more democratic, and to eliminate control of the government by non-elected members established in the bureaucracy. In this respect Watanabe has repeatedly stated that his position is compatible with the Democratic Party of Japan.

The party fielded 13 candidates in the August general elections.[1] 5 of those candidates were elected to the lower house.

Trivia

  • "Minna no Tō" in Japanese directly means "Everyone's party" or "Party for Everyone" in English.
