TOKYO, Sept 1 (Reuters) - A Democratic Party government will speed up Japan's policy-making process by doing away with a decades-old system of haggling between the ruling party and the cabinet, a party lawmaker said on Tuesday.
The Democrats, who won Sunday's election by a landslide, have pledged to overhaul the way policies are crafted and implemented as Japan tries to lift the economy out of recession and care for a rapidly ageing population.
Renho, vice chair of the Democrats' policy research committee, said a planned new National Strategy Bureau comprising public and private sector members would make the decision process quicker and more efficient.
"(The ruling party) will be the backbenchers," said Renho, an upper house lawmaker who goes only by her first name, of the new entity which will aim to take a top-down approach to outlining a policy vision and formulating the budget framework.
"Unless we have front benchers and back benchers, we will have lawmakers catering to special interests," she told Reuters in an interview.
The Democrats have accused the outgoing Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of a cumbersome policy making system in which the ruling party often had feuds with cabinet members. (Reporting by Chisa Fujioka; Editing by Joseph Radford)
