Hopefully Sibboleth will make a real one, but for having something provisoricallly i took the Wikipedia-map, abolished the grades and altered the misleading colours:  Hyodo-3 is incorrectly attributed at Wikipedia to Komeito. |

One slight note: I wouldn't shorten the utterly lavenous, fantastically loaded party name Reiwa Shinsengumi to Reiwa, since it's literally the Shinsengumi (New Select Squad, ie a defeated samurai order of the 1860s with a modern fandom, ie referencing a counterfactual cooler way Japan might have modernized-while-retaining-traditions instead of the Meiji Restoration) for Reiwa (Beautiful Harmony, ie the reign of the new emperor since 2019, ie today).

I see that the continuing continuing SDP still have a seat, God bless 'em.

"Shinsengumi" would have been too long (and i doubt, that an ochlocratic crowd has really much to do with samurei); "RS" might have been a possibility. |

How come Osaka has such a different battle to the rest of the country? Is that this election particularly, or a more general trend?

Osaka is the base of Nippon Ishin no Kai. It's a bit like querying the different electoral politics in the SouthWest of England, back when that was LibDem heartland.

Oh but Osaka is even more... special... than that. It isn't just the nationalist freaks, it's Kōmeitō. Who were much more resilient to what happened than the LDP: they held all their district seats. It isn't just Kōmeitō as well: the other big cult party (the JCP) is strong there as well.

Imagine the Liberals as being really really big in Birmingham, out-competing Labour and the LibDems. Big industrial centre, second city, special exceptionalism, protective against interference from central government and prestige being stolen by Tokyo. |

Japan is no longer without some presence of a nationalistic right:  We can guess, that Sanseito would have under normal circumStances - i.e. without inflation&assassination - performed even better. |

A user from another forum put the parties into blocs (i added few things like "Left" or "Right" - of course it's, for example, not all-right to exclude from "Right" the JRP [here subsumed under "ThirdPole"]):  |

Not sure about the recession part, but I suspect the LDP took some nationalist votes after the Abe assassination. |

Not sure about the recession part, but I suspect the LDP took some nationalist votes after the Abe assassination. I was also not sure. Some unhappy with the inflation might indeed have gone from the gov. to the new protestParty. But on the other hand perhaps even more might moved to (mid)left. |
