"Is the party coming to power more nationalist in nature?"

Maybe more "Hopey, changey", populist, promise them stuff like The Obammunist.

From New Zealand Herald:

"The Democrats have embraced a more populist platform, promising handouts for families with children and farmers, a higher minimum wage, and to rebuild the economy.

"The nation is very angry with the ruling party, and we are grateful for their deep support," Hatoyama said after the polls closed. "We will not be arrogant and we will listen to the people."

The Democrats have also said they will seek a more independent relationship with Washington, while forging closer ties with Japan's Asian neighbours, including China."

“We will not be arrogant and we will listen to the people.”

Reminds me of what GWB said after his squeaker win: “I will be president of ALL the people.”

Compare Obozo: “I won.”
