2017 House of Representatives Election, Over the night...
Here are the pictures of the “official twitter” of the top four parties which yielded most seats in the election this time.
The order of seats yielded is, first of all the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.
It won a landslide victory of 284 seats.
The next party is the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan.
It won 55 seats which was more than three times before the election,
and became the leading opposition party.
The Kibo no To won 50 seats
which was less than its seats before the election, it had a painful fight.
And then, Komeito also had a decreased seats to 29.
While each picture has the photo of the party leaders and catch phrases,
only that of the CDP does not show the appearance of representative Edano,
but is showing photo of lots of supporters gathered in speech.
In fact, if we rearrange their order according to the “number of followers” of the twitters of these four parties…
The CDP is the top with around 189,000 followers.
On the other hand, Kibo no To is the fourth with around 13,000 followers.
(As of 23 October, 2017)
Both parties are the “new parties” established before the election this time,
The difference in number of followers is nearly 15 times.
From the result of election as well, the breakthrough of the CDP appeared.
Here is the result of the proportional representation Tokyo Block.
Looking at the results by all the voters,
1st LDP
2nd CDP
3rd Kibo no To and so on.
While
while asking the vote of the “independent voters” at the exit survey…
1st CDP
2nd Kibo no To
3rd LDP
it turned out that the independent voters supported the CDP most.
The party also makes good use of SNS etc.,
and gathered the support of independent voters which is said to support its breakthrough.
And then, the voting rate of the House of Representatives election this time was 53.68%.
While it was the second lowest figure after the war,
while the typhoon was approaching, the rate was 1.02 points higher than last time.
In such circumstance, about the election this time
what thoughts did the young voters have?
People who went to vote, people who did not
we heard what various people say.
First of all, from people who went to vote.
■ University student (21)
“I bit started having interest in politics,
I felt like the political situation was not so good
I hope to change something with my vote”
■ University student (18)
“Before I complain, if I don’t vote
I would have no rights to say anything”
“There will be Olympics coming
I shall need to find job after Olympics
I hope the society will be that I can find job at ease”
We also interviewed people who did not go to vote.
■ Employee (25)
“Looking at the elections thus far
I wondered if anything would change this time
and I thought that nothing would change”
“I didn’t think I should go to vote in such rain”
■ Employee (25)
“In the first place whether the general election this time is necessary
I have no idea,
so I feel that I didn’t have much interest in it”
In the street, “even I went to election there will not be change”
such severe voice was also heard,
this is also the case in the survey we conducted to 1,000 respondents.
Asking people of tens to thirties years old
“Are you satisfied with the current political situation of Japan?”...
Yes ＝9.6%
No ＝55.3%
it was revealed that many people were not satisfied.
