• The establishment of the House of Councilors was permitted on the condition that it be composed of elected members. The members elected made up another electoral system in the House of Representatives; it was expected to hold in check the excess the party politics and policy change. It was expected that in the nationwide constituency, national intellectuals would be elected and in the local, the local ones would be elected. But the nationwide members were criticized on the ground that there were too many media stars and plutocrats. The local members were criticized because of disproportional numbers. This criticism leads reform of the electoral system, namely Proportional Representation with Open List System in 1982, and Open List System in 2000. But these electoral reforms were deprived of real substance by the party in power. The reform of electoral system is success that its constitutional position has been clarified and political reform has been achieved.
