Notes

1 Ishii's role in the Alliance shaped not only multi-party co-operation but also the movements of a number of local politicians.

2 Unless otherwise noted, interviews were conducted with sitting Diet members.

3 Although the national Koumei had joined the NFP, the prefectural-level party maintained a separate identity. Thus, former Koumei candidates for the national elections in Hyogo ran under the NFP label, but were still widely thought of as being Koumei. In this discussion, the Koumei identity of these candidates is salient and therefore highlighted. However, it should be kept in mind that in 1996 these individuals were members of the NFP

4 The September-October 1996 and May-June 2000 editions of the Kobe Shinbun serve as the central resources for this text and are thus cited only in cases where the text draws from a single article (rather than multiple articles over a given period of time).

5 Fuyushiba achieved this by mobilising his own supporters in favour of the campaigns of the local LDP politicians who had backed Muroi in the 1996 election. This earned him some good will and obligation on the part of the local LDP (interview, 28 March 2001).
