# Japanese media: Takaichi sanae is almost certain to win the election # # On the headlines to talk about hot topics #

In order to push takaichi sanae to the throne of prime minister, the Liberal Democratic Party did not hesitate to accept the cooperation conditions of the Reform Association, which completely angered its former ally Komeito Party.

On the 18th, Japan's "Daily News" that a public party official strongly opposed the cutting of seats in the congress, saying that if the self-government party accepted the proposal of the Vichy, it would mean "All-out war" with Komeito Party.

Similarly opposed, there are parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Communist Party of Japan and the Social Democratic Party, among which the leader of the Social Democratic Party, Fukushima Riyai, said that if the seats of lawmakers are cut, the diversity of people's opinions will not be fully reflected.

The reason why these parties are so opposed to reducing seats is because the proposal of reducing the number of seats in parliament by 10% proposed by the Reform Council has harmed their practical interests.

Japan's House of Representatives Elections small electoral district electionsand Percentage of elections,Small electoral districts. by voters directly voting to the candidates in the electoral district,The proportional representation seats are Voters vote on political parties, and political parties allocate seats according to the number of votes received.

The Japanese House of Representatives. 289 electoral districtsand 176 per cent of the seats,The seat advantages of each party are also different, The Communist Party of Japan depends on proportional representative regions.The Reform Association, on the other hand, centered on small electoral districts, and suffered a fiasco in the election of proportional representation districts. For example, in last year's House of Representatives election, the Reform Association lost 3 million votes in proportional representation districts.

Therefore, the Reform Council hopes to reduce the number of members, especially the proportional representation seats, so as to give full play to the advantages of small electoral district seats. This will naturally attract dissatisfaction from parties that rely on proportional representation such as the Komeito Party and the Communist Party of Japan.

Of course, the claim of the Vichy will also harm the interests of the Democratic Party, if the policy of cutting seats in parliament can be implemented, The Liberal Democratic Party is expected to lose 10 to 20 seats.

However, accepting the cuts in parliamentary seats is not yet the biggest concession made by the self-government party to the Vichy, because the real "heavenly price" conditions, as well as one that will have a profound impact on the political situation in Japan, are: The self-government party accepted the concept of the "Osaka Vice Capital" of the Vichy Society.

Its predecessor was the "Osaka Society", whose core demand was to raise Osaka's administrative status to be parallel to Tokyo. ¡°The Vice Capital.¡±

In short, it is to demand that Tokyo transfer political resources and administrative departments to Osaka. The ¡°two capitals¡± of Guangdong and Guangxi--However, the idea of the Reform Council was rejected in both referendums because it involved too many political interests.

However, in order to push the high market to the prime minister's throne, the Self-Democratic Party can promise even such conditions, only to say that power makes people crazy.

because The Osaka branch of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Reform Association have long-standing competitive conflicts.In the House elections last year, for example, the self-government party lost to 15 of Osaka's 19 small parliamentary districts.

Therefore, now that the Liberal Democratic Party accepts the idea of "Deputy Capital of Osaka" of the Reform Association, it can indeed consolidate its crumbling ruling position after breaking with the Komeito Party in the short term, but in the long run, it is Hand over the Liberal Democratic Party's political interests in Osaka to the Reform Council.

Especially since Takashi Zaomiao himself was originally from Kansai,"ceding land" to the Reform Association will inevitably go further. Injuring the feelings of members of the Senate within the party.

On the other hand, even if takaichi sanae can be successfully elected, because of the weakness of the Liberal Democratic Party, she, the prime minister, will be subject to the Reform Association. The Reform Association can withdraw its support for takaichi sanae at any time on the grounds that the Liberal Democratic Party failed to fulfill its promise.

After learning about the union of the Self-Democratic Party and the Socialist Party, the popular prime minister candidate of the opposition party, The leader of the National Democratic Party, Yūku YūkuIt is regrettable to say that if he had long known that these "heavenly prices" of the Self-Democratic Party's Liaoning and New Assembly could be promised, he would have spoken well with the Self-Democratic Party.

Unfortunately, there are no remedies in this world.
