Many people say she is taking a gamble, but look at this survey chart, and you will be shocked!
On February 1st, the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun released a chart predicting the number of seats in the House of Representatives election, in which the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is expected to secure nearly 300 seats on its own, far exceeding the LDP's current seat count of about 199 before the dissolution of the House of Representatives.
If this survey result becomes reality, what does it mean?
1. Takayama Hayato successfully converted her own popularity into party support.
2. The LDP will become an absolute majority party in the House of Representatives, no longer constrained by other parties.
3. If the LDP joins forces with its coalition partner, the Japan Restoration Party, the total number of seats would exceed 310, giving the LDP and its ruling coalition decision-making power over major issues such as constitutional reform.
4. The Japanese political landscape shows a clear right-wing trend, with some public opinion shifting.
This seems to indicate that she is not gambling, but rather confident; the direction of Japanese politics is showing a worrying right-wing trend, echoing some tendencies before World War II, a situation that deserves high attention from the international community!
