2014年日本政党政治的变动呈现两条路径：面对强势安倍内阁与“一党独大”的执政党自民党，在野党试图通过重组改变“多弱”格局以形成能够与之相抗衡的在野势力。安倍为长期执政先后通过改组内阁、提前解散众议院举行大选，不断加强其权力基础、增强其凝聚力，不仅不给最大在野党民主党以可乘之机，而且不断排除来自党内反安倍势力的挑战。2014年12月14日大选后，自民党、公明党两党执政联盟控制众议院2/3议席，自民党一党单独控制绝对稳定多数议席、继续维持“一党独大”优势。安倍继续执政，日本政治进入第三届安倍内阁时期。
As for the trend of Japanese party politics in 2014，faced with the one-party dominance of LDP and the strong Abe administration，the opposition parties attempt to regroup in order to shift from weaker position and counterbalance the dominating power of the ruling parties. Meanwhile，in order to secure a long-term administration，Abe strengthens his power base and the internal cohesion within the party by reshuffling the cabinet and dissolving the Diet to hold the general election in an early time，giving no opportunity to the leading opposition party DPJ and disposing the opposition force within the party. After the general election on December 14th，2014，the LDP-Komeito ruling coalition has gained over two thirds of the seats in the House of Representatives，retaining the one-party dominance with the leadership of Abe cabinet in the third term.
