No-confidence motion voted down On June 15, the Lower House voted down a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's Cabinet that the opposition camp submitted, a day before the Diet session was due to end. The main opposition Democratic Party of Japan, the Japanese Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party submitted the motion. It was debated during the Lower House plenary session but Koizumi's governing coalition voted it down. The opposition expressed its dissatisfaction with the governing coalition of Koizumi's Liberal-Democratic Party and the New Komeito party for railroading a set of pension reform bills June 5, and for the nation's dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces to Iraq.
