Kishida survived an assassination attempt in April, and the LDP&#8217;s subsequent strong performance in by-elections helped to temporarily stabilise his leadership. However, the party faced a fresh scandal in November, when a police investigation into the misreporting and mishandling of \u2018slush fund\u2019 money by the LDP&#8217;s major factions led to the removal of four senior Cabinet ministers and an even sharper decline in support for the Kishida administration. Rising consumer prices, due in part to a weakening of the Yen, were also a major concern throughout 2023, with inflation for the full year reaching 3.1 per cent, its highest level since 1981.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journal Title \/\u63b2\u8f09\u30b8\u30e3\u30fc\u30ca\u30eb\u540d European Journal of Political Research Publication Year and Month \/\u63b2\u8f09\u5e74\u6708 July, 2024 Pap [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[218,217],"class_list":["post-78414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-impact-en","tag-impact"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78414"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78414\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78415,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78414\/revisions\/78415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
