Why is Japan heading to the polls?

Japanese Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe has called a parliamentary election for mid-December 2014,
two years ahead of schedule. The BBC's explains why he chose to do this
and what it might mean.
Mr Abe wants to ensure he has public support to push through his plans to revive the economy.
On 17 November, official numbers showed that Japan's economic
output had shrunk for the second quarter in a row - which means the
nation is now in what is called a technical recession.
The numbers also showed that growth in private consumption,
which accounts for about 60% of Japan's economic health, was much weaker
than expected.
Many analysts say that an increase in the country's sales tax
in April which was intended to boost the national coffers has instead
put consumers off buying new things, especially big ticket items like
cars.
The increase in April was from 5% to 8% and there are
currently plans to raise it again next year to 10%. Mr Abe wants to
delay this, and sees an election win as giving him a mandate to do so.
