This is deeeeeply worrying, but sadly not a surprise. Japan gonna Japan, and that means dumb voters and xenophobia.

Fuck, even Japan is getting worse.

15 out of 465 is about 3 percent. Compared to the period around the Upper House election, Sanseito seems to have lost momentum, which I am glad to see.

And still will not solve anything but just be prepared for more BS against us.

Without picking a side I genuinely don’t understand why the hot topic and all anyone talks about is foreigners. Immigration legal and illegal is a huge and relevant topic in some countries sure but in Japan there are like 10 of us in the whole country. What’s the issue? Aren’t there other things to talk about?

As much as I dislike Sanseito, 15 out of 465 doesn’t seem like that much. Then again, I don’t know that much about Japanese politics. Can someone please tell me if I should find this worrying or not?

By the way, the Japanese Communist Party holds eight seats in the Diet.
Yet Japan has never once been feared to be turning communist, nor has this ever been regarded as a problem by the international community.

That would be a +12 seat gain for them but it still doesn’t mean they have much power in a 465 seat house. If anything, it’s kind of a weak showing considering they already have 15 members in the 241 member upper house.
They’ll definitely pick up seats but it will be interesting to see whether those are in single-seat constitutencies or through proportional voting and how that spread looks.
