The right won a historic victory with Prime Minister Takaichi’s popularity as a tailwind. On the other hand, opposition Democratic Party members were forced to leave Nagatacho. Please let us know how the landscape of the Diet will change due to this huge birth. On February 10, at the first Cabinet meeting after the House of Representatives election, Prime Minister Takaichi lightly touched the arm of Defense Minister Koizumi, who was speaking with a smile, as he left the room. The other ministers are also in a positive mood. On February 8th, the names of candidates who have been confirmed to be elected will soon be marked with flowers. Takaichi Liberal Party won 316 seats, the most ever. How will Japanese politics change based on this number of seats? The Liberal Democratic Party gained 304 seats under former Prime Minister Nakasone’s “playing dead” plan, and even when the Democratic Party took over in 2009, it only had 308 seats, so the number “316” is interesting to note. The number of committee chairman posts and control rooms has been drastically reduced – I never expected to be left in this way. Katsuya Okada, Centrist Reform Coalition: “I was prepared, though.” A “big-name lawmaker” from the opposition party is leaving Nagatacho. Following the crushing defeat of “49 seats,” Mr. Noda and Mr. Saito of the Centrist Reform Alliance stepped down from their positions as co-representatives. “I believe we have a huge responsibility that is worth dying for.” The Centrist Reform Alliance decided to choose its representative less than a month after the proposal was launched. For the time being, the special Diet session to be convened on the 18th will be different from previous years. There were also physical changes inside the Capitol. Currently, members of each faction are discussing a meeting with each other.
