Finally, a movement away from the Meiji Restoration has begun in the Kansai region…The reason why the Nippon Ishin no Kai, which won total victory in Osaka, did not succeed outside of Osaka. 1 million votes and was the only opposition party to lose.

In the House of Representatives election, the Japanese Renewal Party lost 6 seats out of 44 seats. Satoshi Ishido, a non-fiction writer, said, “Although we won all 19 single-seat constituencies in Osaka Prefecture for the first time, in the constitutive Kinki bloc, there was a decrease of more than 1 million vote in it from It attracts attention as a third party area, but the current situation is scary.”

The Japan Restoration Society also suffered heavy losses in Kansai.

One of the questions going around in this election is the strength of the Meiji Restoration in Osaka.

This is because the Nippon Ishin no Kai won the 19 single-seat constituencies in Osaka in the 2024 House of Representatives election, with 38 seats, six seats less than the current one. I have seen big arguments like “Osaka residents support the Meiji Restoration because the media in Osaka are reporting pro-Meiji Restoration” many times, but there is no basis for such This argument is beyond intuition.

I built a career as a social affairs reporter in Osaka, and I still work for the media in Osaka. People have a tendency towards a hostile understanding of the media, in which we see that the media only focuses on the arguments of those who are against us. If the people in the Osaka media who advocate real ideas are right, there will be no decline in the Meiji Restoration.

One fact is that even in the proportional Kinki block, Ishin has significantly reduced his votes from about 3.18 million votes and 10 seats he got in 2021 to about 2.07 million votes and 7 seats. Even in the supposedly strong Kansai region, losing more than 1 million votes can only be considered a big loss.

After receiving the election results, Osaka Prefecture Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura said, “Osaka has lost completely. It is a very difficult result. to lose a majority in the election “I think it’s a difficult result, with fewer seats,” but that’s probably a fair point.

Media coverage in Osaka covers the entire Kansai region. Even if there was a problem with the governor of Hyogo prefecture proposed by the Meiji Restoration, if it was effective, it would have grown significantly in 2021 and beyond, given the appearance of the Meiji Restoration in an election House of Councilors 2022, the new coronavirus. , and the Expo Should be there.

Anyway, themes surrounding the Meiji Restoration tend to inspire people. What affected the seating in the Meiji Restoration was that there were size zones that were hard to see. Their voices do not appear even on social media, where there are several opinions for and against the Meiji Restoration, but they have an influence on the seats. What on earth is that?
