Japan’s ruling Conservatives have suffered a landslide defeat at the hands of the Democratic Party. Natalya Stapran, political analyst from the Moscow Institute of International Relations shared her reaction with RT.

Japan's next leader, Yukio Hatoyama, is beginning a transition to power which brings to an end over fifty years of rule by the Conservatives.

Exit polls suggest an overwhelming change in national feeling, with the Democrats winning over three quarters of the seats available.

Many, including the South Korean President, say they hope the new government may be able to improve relations with Japan's Asian neighbors.

After fifty years of conservative ruling,the Japanese wisely have decided,they had enough with same old ways,thinking,and practices,of the ruling elite,and decided it was time to change,by electing a new leadership,for this to come up with new ways and ideas to govern the Nation,and dump the old,that for so long were the MASTERS of Exploitation, creation and normalization of what has become today,s modern Slavery.We all know in part at least,they had to follow orders given by their american slave Masters,who defeated them,and as we know their troops remain there,but not much longer. The Japanese clean UP of their old Conservative government,should now be copied by the american and european peoples,since they to are in need of A MAJOR CHANGE,of their primitive governments.

Yes finally we can HOPE for true CHANGE now that the first country -- to be attacked by the US (with its new weapon of mass destruction) -- which was leveled into a pile of rubble so that this race of people understood the white masters of antiquity meant business in MODERN time/s. Fear and loathing can only hold onto creative genius for so long, especially when this collective unconsciousness is simply imagination in the beginning, middle and end of living as human beings. Thus, perhaps one level of consciousness has finally awakened and grown-up, weary of this mass hypnosis of antiquated methods of rulers over the whole human herd, but only time can tell. The problem we face as an entire globe of humans is the fact that every brain has been compromised and this includes the most intelligent of our species (including but not limited to the enlightened leaders of Russia - 3 to be exact) and our livers happen to be the key to cleanse this critical mass poisoning of our "brains" (liver controls the mind in every cell of the body which is governed by the brain's health). Japan had an herbalist who was one of the greatest healers on the earth. Perhaps now the practices from this country can come into the light of day rather than the western blanket of insane ideas about how the Japanese owe their whole culture, etc. to some other form than the universal truth about all life: imagination creates reality and the western rulers of antiquity are not GOD imagination for the whole or even the parts of the whole of humanity.
