LDP is a conservative party, with members ranging from centre-right, far-right to ultra-conservative. Don't be fooled by the name of the political party. Japan is notorious for it's 1955 System - also known as the "one-and-a-half" party state. And about the imperialist comment - as is obvious from the party dominance - most of the LDP members deny, and don't teach their own history to their citizens. History revisionism is the tool of imperialism - and no one does it as well as the Japanese government.

Okay, so conservative and revisionist, but not imperialist. Maybe imperial-adjacent. Thanks for the deets.
