#JAPAN: Ruling Liberal Democrats Put Off Casino Legalization Vote

[world politics news]


The Liberal Democratic Party has decided not to seek passage of a bill to legalize casino operations during this Diet session because coalition partner Komeito remains cautious on gambling. The LDP appears to be eager to avoid a conflict with Komeito, backed by the Buddhist religious group Soka Gakkai.The bill was jointly introduced by the LDP and two other parties during last year's legislative session.
