Perhaps they've doubled their presence in the house of counselors, but 12 seats isn't all that much when you consider there's a total of 242 available. The communist party has been in politics here for quite awhile, but they will never become mainstream, as there is nothing about communist countries that Japanese wish to emulate. That said, the only reason they were able to grab any extra seats at all is because people are wary of the current prime Minister's plans to revise Japan's constitution.
