Answer:

Two reasons why observers thought that Japan Socialist Party would eventually win general elections because of their views on 2 major issues related to 1946 constitution and Security Treaty.

1) The 1946 constitution: - This constitution was drafted under the demand of General Douglas MacArthur. The 1946 constitution was more of American authorship and with the goal of democratization of Japan. The conservative parties had the consideration of constitution revision since its enactment. Also 1946 constitution aimed at finishing the militarism in Japan.
At the same time, JSP opposed any revision of the constitution.

2) The security treaty: This Security Treaty was the allowing US to gain hold of its military in Asia to defeat any communist thread in cold war. JSP had always oppsed the presence of US military due to fear of US intervention and revival of militarism and supplying war equipment’s to Japan
while LDP argued that the presence of the U.S. army in Japan was merely for self-defense.
