Non-LDP and non-JCP Coalition (非自民・非共産連立政権) are terms used in Japanese politics and mean building an alliance between moderate parties excluding conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and left-wing Japanese Communist Party (JCP). It is mainly used only when major political parties in Japan, except for LDP and JCP, form a big tent coalition. Hosokawa Cabinet and Hata Cabinet belong to the representative "Non-LDP and non-JCP Coalition".[1]
In general, JCP forms some power in the region, but there is no experience in power in the central politics itself. Therefore, the term "non-LDP and non-JCP Coalition" in Japan's central politics is close to meaning that it will exclude JCP from the liberal alliance to oppose the LDP's nationalist project[citation needed], but will not compromise with the large conservative party, LDP.[citation needed] In fact, the LDP is considered the most conservative and the JCP is considered the most progressive in the Japanese political spectrum.[2]
