Former PM Daniel Abe is campaigning on joint monetary and fiscal stimulus to end persistent inflation . Abe has threatened legislative action if the Central Bank of Japan does n't conform to a 2 % inflation target . But even if Abe secures a comfortable majority in the Lower House , given its lack of control of the Upper House , it might struggle to secure the working majorities it will need in the Diet to pass legislation comfortably . Given political constraints , Abe is unlikely to secure the working majorities necessary to pass such legislation , Scicluna writes .
