Terue Ishimura has yet to decide which party she will vote for in the Dec. 16 general election. But one thing is clear — she won't be supporting the ruling Democratic Party of Japan again.

Ishimura, a Saitama Prefecture resident in her 60s, voted for the DPJ in the 2009 general election, when the party won a landslide victory that dethroned the Liberal Democratic Party for only the second time in more than 50 years.

But she is now disillusioned with the DPJ.
