Kishida’s ‘Scream’ Heard as LDP Urban Areas Collapse & Opposition Accelerates

The general election is in its final stages. The opposition parties that have decided to fight together are slowly increasing their presence. On the other hand, there is a certain “trend” in the LDP that is causing concern. Veteran members of the LDP with high name recognition and a high number of elections, such as incumbent ministers, former cabinet ministers, and leaders of factions, are said to be “on the verge of failure” this time.

“The LDP is expected to do poorly, but there is no indication of whether the loss of seats is within expectations or an unexpectedly large defeat. On the night of Wednesday the 27th, when the vote was about to be cast, a survey delivered to the executive branch leaders showed a result of [LDP -10P]. LDP Vice President Aso was stunned, saying, “Hmmm, support has dropped again.

“The public’s inclination toward regime change

“If the number of seats in the Diet declines within the expected range, it will not lead to a change of government. However, this is not the case. In the early stages of the election, Amari, the secretary-general of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), announced that the LDP had lost more seats than expected.

On April 21, early in the election, Secretary General Amari issued an “emergency declaration” for the general election within the LDP.

“The situation is tense. One vote, one vote. We must do our utmost to win every single vote.

The document was titled “The situation is tense. The contents of the urgent announcement to all LDP candidates were imbued with a sense of crisis that the LDP would lose its majority.

“In many parts of the country, the situation is extremely tense, with many of our party’s candidates vying for victory. We are concerned about the current situation in which the corona disaster has prevented us from fully exerting our organizational power. It is clear that this election is an election to choose between a ‘liberal democratic government’ and a ‘communist government.

In this way, the party is trying to put its ideological strategy on the front burner. However, no amount of fomenting a sense of crisis within the party will dispel its inferiority.

President Kishida finally screamed on Twitter.

Kishida finally screamed on Twitter. # The House of Representatives election is a very tough situation. However, in order to implement our policies in the midst of this national crisis, this is an election that we absolutely cannot lose. In the remaining five days, I will be making speeches on the streets all over Japan and. # I hope to hear from each and every one of you through street speeches and in-person conversations. # I will take Kishida’s note. Please give this Kishida, the LDP, your strength!”

A senior LDP official shook his head and divulged his painful election strategy.

A senior LDP official shook his head and let out a painful message about the party’s election strategy: “We want to win the general election at this time when the fifth wave of the new corona has subsided. We wanted to win the general election at this time, when the fifth wave of the new corona has subsided, and then organize a super-large economic stimulus package in November to consolidate the Kishida administration. However, the wind did not seem to be blowing in the right direction. The defeat in Shizuoka in the Upper House supplementary election during the general election period was a major blow.

Many of President Kishida’s campaign stops were made by candidates from the Hirochikai, and even there he was unable to deliver words that would stick with the voters. Both the ruling and opposition parties are competing with each other for money handouts, and I think they don’t understand how Kishida’s LDP is trying to lead the country of Japan.

Prime Minister Kishida took a big gamble with the lightning-quick “dissolution. He may have been concerned about the sixth wave of infection, but he was undeniably unprepared.

In the midst of all this, Taro Aso, the Vice President of Japan, who was in Hokkaido to support the Prime Minister, made a tone-deaf comment.

He said, “In the past, rice in Hokkaido was called ‘troublesome rice,’ but today’s rice in Hokkaido is delicious!　This is not because of the efforts of farmers, but because of global warming.

This angered not only the local farmers but also the local voters. The LDP and the agricultural cooperatives, which want to cut subsidies, are now in a “cold war. The ripples from Aso’s comments are slowly spreading to supporters of the LDP.

Then, on the 27th, former Vice President Taku Yamazaki gave a speech in support of Kiyomi Tsujimoto, a candidate of the Constitutional Democratic Party in Osaka’s 10th constituency.

He said, “Kiyomi Tsujimoto is running in the primary election and the LDP in the proportional election. If Kiyomi Tsujimoto is elected, it will be for the good of Japanese politics.

If Kiyomi Tsujimoto is elected, it will be for the good of Japanese politics,” he said in a “soul” street proclamation. This constituency is contested by Kazuhide Okuma of the LDP and Taku Ikeshita, a newcomer to the Japan Restoration Association.

“What’s going on here?

The LDP Osaka prefectural federation is in an uproar.

Prime Minister Kishida and Secretary-General Amari are said to be reeling from the horrors of 2009, when the LDP suffered a crushing defeat and went out of office.

“I even remembered the nightmare of the Uno administration in 1989. The LDP was defeated by the Socialist Party’s ‘Madonna boom’ at that time, and Socialist Party leader Takako Doi was nominated as the leader of the upper house, and she said, ‘The mountain has moved,’ and gained great support from the public.

What is common in elections in which the Liberal Democratic Party loses is that organizational votes such as support groups and friendship groups do not appear. I’m not sure if I’m going to make it. … “…

Prime Minister Kishida is planning to hold a campaign rally in front of JR Oimachi Station in Shinagawa Ward to conclude the Lower House election. He has avoided Akihabara, which has become a staple of the LDP, perhaps because he wants to remove the shadow of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The opposition is on the offensive and the LDP is on the defensive. There are only three days left in this battle, and on October 31, the judgment will be rendered.
