Chapter 1276: Sit Firmly on the Diaoyutai!

The latest website: On this day, all major TV stations are broadcasting news related to the House of Representatives election.

Xia Yu learned about the general election through the live broadcast of the NTV television station he controlled.

"According to statistics, there are a total of 1,342 people in 295 small constituencies in the current House of Representatives election, plus proportional representatives from 11 proportional constituencies that will compete for 180 seats, a total of 1,554 candidates have signed up for the election, and the total number of candidates in this election is And the number of candidates for small constituencies hit a record high, including 218 female candidates..."

"In the current House of Representatives election, there are 48,395 polling places nationwide. Now we are voting at the polling place of Konan Elementary School in Minato Ward, Tokyo. As you can see, there are already long queues at the scene..."

After breakfast, Xia Yu stayed at home and watched live TV leisurely.

Although he has a thorough understanding of the island country's House election rules, it is still very interesting to take a look at the island country's general election.

From the start of voting in the morning, until 11:00 in the morning, the citizens of the island country who have already voted exceeded 10 million people. This turnout rate was much lower than that of the previous session.

According to the investigation and interview of TV reporters, the reason turned out to be that many voters intend to wait and see for a while.

By the afternoon, voters seemed to have figured out who to vote for and gathered to vote.

Until 8:00 p.m., all polling places nationwide were closed for voting, and the exciting vote counting work began.

This night, it was doomed that the heads of all political parties and candidates in the island country could not sleep.

Of course, media reporters across the country also work through the night.

In the 295 constituencies, each constituency will be announced immediately after counting the votes. At least the seats in the small constituencies will determine the winner for the next four years.

The party's votes will be reported to Tokyo for statistics, and after the nationwide proportional representation votes are counted, the 180 seats will be divided according to the vote ratio.

This night is destined to be a night of suffering, especially for the Liberal Democratic Party.

Until the next morning, with the end of vote counting in Tokyo's last small constituency, the entire House of Representatives election finally came to an end. After the results were announced,

It shocked the entire political arena of the island country, and even the people were talking about it.

In this general election of the House of Representatives, a total of 64,245,685 voters voted, of which the Liberal Democratic Party won a total of 28,484,678 votes, with a total vote rate of only 44.34%. It won a total of 161 small constituencies and won 54.58% of the seats.

The proportional representative won 18,432,087 votes, with a vote rate of 28.69%, and won 53 seats, with a seat rate of 29.44%.

In total, the LDP won 214 House seats.

The Liberal Democratic Party has lost the election!

Because according to the 475 seats in the House of Representatives, more than half of them must reach 238 seats to be able to form an independent cabinet.

The Liberal Democratic Party has only won 214 seats, and it is 24 away from the majority of seats in the independent cabinet!

This difference is not too big.

When the major parties learned of the result, they were all pleasantly surprised, because the opportunity had come!

After the Liberal Democratic Party, the political parties that won the number of seats in the House of Representatives were the Socialist Party (61), the Democratic Socialist Party (52), the Democratic Party (38), the Komeito Party (35), the Sogokai (33), the Japanese Communist Party (14), the Gerakan Party (8), the Friendship New Party (5). 3 for the Democratic Reform League and 12 for independents.

This year's newly established Founding Council, led by Nobu Takegami, won 33 seats in one fell swoop, ranking sixth in the entire election, and only 2 seats behind the fifth-place Komeito!

Of course, Takegami Noboru, the current Prime Minister of the Great Treasure and the head of the Founding Council, has become a hot figure.

The Liberal Democratic Party has only 214 seats in the House of Representatives, and it has failed to form a cabinet independently. If it wants to form a cabinet, it must win over any of the five major parties of the Socialist Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, the Komeito and the Sokai Council to form a cabinet.

Of course, if the 12 people without party affiliation, the Gerakan Party, the New Friendship Party, the Japanese Communist Party, and the Federation for Democratic Reform are drawn together to form a part of their own forces, and 24 seats are gathered, it is possible to form a cabinet, but it will be extremely difficult.

Among these multiple forces, the Socialist Party, the Japanese Communist Party, and the Federation for Democratic Reform are all political parties that are reforming, and are ideologically opposed to the Liberal Democratic Party, advocating breaking the status quo and carrying out political, economic, and social reforms.

On the other hand, the Democratic Socialist Party, Komeito, Sogokai, and Gerakan are considered middle-way political parties. The Sogokai’s philosophy is to maintain and develop the current capitalist political and social system, but there are differences, and they hope to make some innovations.

Then there are the Democratic Party and the Youai New Party. These two parties belong to conservative political parties and have the same position as the Liberal Democratic Party. However, the Democratic Party and the New Friendship Party were formed from the opposition that split from the Liberal Democratic Party one after another, and they have irreconcilable contradictions.

Of the 12 people without party affiliation, most of them are headed by Kakuei Tanaka, who also withdrew from the Liberal Democratic Party, and has some irreconcilable contradictions with Yasuhiro Nakasone.

Furthermore, the defeat of the Liberal Democratic Party this time in the general election has a deep relationship with Kakuei Tanaka. It can be said that there is old and new hatred between the two sides, which can be said to be insoluble.

All in all, the relationship between the various political parties in the island country is intricate.

However, after the results of this election came out, the political arena of the island country suddenly surged.

Unlike Nakasone Yasuhiro, who was nervous, the Socialist Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, the Komeito Party and many other parties were all excited, as if seeing spring.

In particular, the leaders of the Socialist Party and the Democratic Socialist Party immediately convened the top leaders of their respective parties for secret discussions, with a very clear purpose, preparing to form a cabinet with other original opposition parties, seize power, and make the Liberal Democratic Party become an opposition party!

On this evening, Takegami also summoned all the members of the founding council to gather together.

All 81 candidates for the general election were present.

Of course, it cannot be said that it is a candidate now, it should be said that it is 33 members of the House of Representatives and 48 former candidates.

Although 48 members failed, 33 members succeeded. Among them, 12 original members were successfully re-elected, and the other 21 members were new members. This can be said to be a great success!

Therefore, the whole venue was full of laughter and congratulations.

"Okay, let's be quiet first, and we'll talk about the celebration later. Let's have a meeting now."

The small Takegamito stood on the top and just finished speaking, Obuchi Keizo, Hashimoto Ryutaro, Ozawa Ichiro, Haneda Tsu, Sujiyama Shiroku, Watanabe Heizo, Okuda Keiwa and others all quieted down and looked for him. Take a seat and sit down.

"Start the meeting now."

"The general election in the House of Representatives is over. We have 33 seats in the House of Representatives and have won a huge victory, but we can't relax, because the victory is only a phase!"

"Our ultimate goal is to gain enough power!"

Takegami's words were very contagious. While speaking in a eloquent voice, he also raised his right fist, as if he was holding power in his hand.

He continued: "In the next week, the competition will be very fierce, and here I have two requests for you."

"First, unity!"

"Second, keep a low profile!"

"If you have any opinions and ideas, you can share them with me in private or at the meeting. No matter what the final result is, whoever can get the corresponding power and who doesn't, the mentality must be stable, and everyone must always believe in it. One point, my decision and everyone's decision, the ultimate purpose is to make our group stronger!"

"We have won so many seats in the House of Representatives, which is already very dazzling. At this sensitive time, everyone should keep a low profile as much as possible and not talk nonsense to avoid causing trouble to our entire group."

"We have gained a huge initiative, and then we just need to wait. Other parties such as the Liberal Democratic Party and the Socialist Party will definitely want to win over us."

"Without our founding council, the opposition parties would not be able to successfully form a cabinet even if they were all united!"

"For the Liberal Democratic Party, we are the most suitable party to win over, and Nakasone Yasuhiro will never turn a blind eye."

"Everyone must have confidence in me. If I can lead everyone to victory in the first stage, we will be able to achieve a greater victory in the second stage!"

"Clap clap clap..."

As soon as Takegamito finished speaking, Keizan Obuchi excitedly gave his head and applauded, and the whole scene suddenly burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time...

Just when Nou Takegami was having a secret meeting, after intense discussions with the Liberal Democratic Party, Yasushi Nakasone finally made a decision and decided to first try to win over Noble Takegami, his original good partner.

The choice of the Liberal Democratic Party was exactly what Takegami had expected.

More precisely, it is in line with the situation of Xia Yu's plan behind the scenes!

Next, whether the Founding Council can extend its hand into the new cabinet of the island country, and how much power it can gain, depends on what Sone Yasuo and Takegami said...
