Japan's conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has returned to power, paving the way for the country's nuclear reactors to be switched back on.The conservatives won a landslide victory, cruising to power on a platform of revising the pacifist constitution, strengthening the military, and re-embracing nuclear power.The prime minister will be Shinzo Abe, who quit as Japan's leader in 2007 after a string of scandals and a stress-induced bowel problem.Japan's governing party, the centre-left Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), lost two-thirds of its seats in what seemed like punishment by voters for its disorganised response to the Fukushima nuclear meltdowns and for a series of policy backflips.Among the highest profile casualties was Naoto Kan, who was prime minister during the nuclear disaster. Prime minister Yoshihiko Noda has conceded defeat and resigned as head of the DPJ.Monday, December 17, 2012
