“I think it’s completely defeated now. “The Minoh mayoral election was a complete defeat,” said Governor Yoshimura Hirofumi of Osaka Prefecture, who is also the leader of the Osaka Restoration Party, with a grim expression. In the Minoh mayoral election in Osaka Prefecture, which was held on August 25th, incumbent Mayor Kazuhiko Kamijima, who was supported by the Osaka Restoration Party and seeking a second term, was defeated by independent candidate Ryo Harada by a large margin of approximately 14,000 votes. This was the first time that a sitting local government leader endorsed by the Osaka Restoration Party had lost an election in Osaka Prefecture. “I felt firsthand the sudden drop in the popularity of the Ishin Party.” On the morning of August 18, the day the Minoh mayoral election was announced, Governor Yoshimura was with Kamijima. Governor Yoshimura, taking the microphone, emphasized Kamijima’s achievements as mayor. “I would love to see Kamishima-san serve a second term as mayor.” “The media will attack the Ishin Party whenever something happens, but we also have the World Expo coming up. I’ll do my best,” he said. Until now, whenever Governor Yoshimura went to campaign, the venues were filled with spectators and cheers rang out. However, on this day, despite the scorching heat, the applause was sparse. Even when Kamishima walked around asking citizens to shake his hand, there was little response. Just a year and a few months ago, the Ishin Party won a landslide victory in the 2011 unified local elections in the Kansai region, including the Osaka gubernatorial election and the Osaka mayoral election. The party made great strides by expanding its support beyond the Kansai region. However, a member of the Diet from the Ishin Party said, “Maybe a year ago was the peak. So far this year, the elections in which the Ishin Party has fielded candidates have not produced any results. “Watching the Minoh mayoral election, I could really feel that the popularity of the Ishin Party was plummeting,” he confides.
>>5 I think it’s because the current major opposition parties don’t really seem to want to run the government themselves. Everyone wants to be the “eternal opposition party.”
Mega solar panels at disaster prevention park in Nara, begging for denim jackets in Hyogo, exploding toilets in Osaka, and the Meiji Restoration is over.
Is this really okay for the Ishin Party, when the number of days a governor clings to his position is inversely proportional to the number of his supporters?
“The media attacks the Restoration Party whenever something happens, but they also have the World Expo coming up. I’ll do my best.” That’s even worse lol.
>>14 Even if they stop it now and hold an election, it’s obvious that the Ishin Party will lose. People’s rumors last for 75 days. Once the heat is over, people forget it. Japanese people are stupid, so they should just be patient until the topic diverges. The LDP presidential election is coming up soon. Ishin Party probably thinks so.
>>18 The Ishin Restoration has the opposite structure to Japan. In Japanese companies and WWII, the top people were trash and the commoners were excellent. But in the Ishin Restoration, only the top people were luxurious and excellent.
It’s because whenever something goes wrong they try to shift the blame onto others to avoid criticism from the media. That kind of thing is just like the Constitutional Democratic Party, and is hated like a body blow.
From the Constitutional Democratic Party’s perspective, it was clear that they couldn’t reach the LDP, which was above them, and that if the Japan Innovation Party, which was below them, threatened their position as the largest opposition party, they would try to knock them down lol.
Restoration Party = Yakuza, Sasagawa faction, it’s common knowledge in Kansai, if you oppose them they’ll try to run you over with a car or do crazy things like they did to Mizuho Umemura.
