如果民主党能像自己希望的那样通过集中首相办公室的政策制定来摆脱官僚家族的控制，日本就能够成为一个更有活力的民主国家，拥有更加完善的两党制度，也更愿意发挥国际领导作用。
If the DPJ can break free of mandarin control by centralizing policy formation in the office of the prime minister, as it intends, Japan can emerge as a more resilient democracy with a full-fledged two-party system and greater willingness to assume an international leadership role.
