Information/Data on Japanese Political System
In the Japanese political system the Diet enacts laws, but most laws are drafted by career officials in the executive branch. Each cabinet minister (almost invariably a Diet member) is the legal head of his ministry, but he usually has little specialized knowledge and serves for only a year or two. He is in many ways dependent on the expertise of the ministry's career civil service led by the administrative vice-minister. The minister is therefore often less a seader than a spokesman for his mmministry as a whole. On the other hand, when one party has a majority in the Diet, party officials actually have a major voice in each ministry's policymaking.
