Political funding in Japan

Political funding in Japan means money that is given to political parties, candidates and other organisations in order to help them win elections. This money can come from individuals, businesses or special interest groups like unions. Political funding laws in Japan help to make sure that all candidates have a fair chance of winning an election by preventing parties and candidates from getting more money than they should. These laws also make sure that political parties and candidates are transparent about who is giving them money and how much money they are receiving. This helps to make sure that politics are ran fairly and honestly.
