It was the only political party which opposed nuclear power and the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership.

After a complete failure at the polls in the 16 December 2012 general election the party collapsed, and it officially dissolved in May 2013.

There were talks with Mayor of Nagoya Takashi Kawamura and former Agriculture Minister Masahiko Yamada to further merge the Tax Cuts Japan into the TPJ as a single party.

The party's policy platform for the 2012 general election included the elimination of nuclear power by 2022 and freezing the government's plan to raise the sales tax.

Abe and Kada went to Green Wind, which had four diet members, over a possible merger, but the talks were not successful.
