Why News Constitutional Democracy lost the losing candidate stressed that "the direction of the opposition's common struggle is not wrong."

The Constitutional Democratic Party's representative election will be held on November 30.The focus is what to do with the opposition co -fighting.The point is the relationship with the Communist Party.The media reports that many people do not support opposition co -fights.So what is the skin sensation of the candidate who actually fought in the election campaign?Two female candidates who fought in the Kansai constituencies where the Restoration Wind Wind had blown out emphasized that "the direction of opposition co -fighting is not wrong."

Mari Yasuda from Hyogo 7 wards

"I have a lot to think. Complex feelings ..."

That was the "first voice".And he looked back on the election campaign.

"I was going to win this time. I was aiming to win in the constituency."

I continued like this.

"Many people talked about distrust of the LDP. I heard many times," I can't forgive. ""

Mari Yasuda (43) looked back on the election with a bit of a sloppy feeling.

Mr. Yasuda lost from Hyogo 7 wards.She met at her office on a day after about a week from the vote day.The office is located in a multi -tenant building that spent from JR Nishinomiya.

Yasuda is a former free announcer.She is from Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture.She graduated from Kanazawa University, casters on NHK and commercial news programs, and then studied sociology at Hosei University Graduate School.She is not a relationship that I do not know as a journalist friend.She has joined the fact check discussion I am working on.

At the time of the Upper House election in 2019, he left Hyogo as a candidate for the Democratic Party and was defeated.He is a so -called "parallel candidate", but this election has been removed from the house in Tokyo to take root in the "local".

Nishinomiya and Ashiya in the 7th ward of Hyogo are bedtowns in Osaka and Kobe.Although there will be handicap as a parallel candidate, it is not a constituency that can only be won by a local candidate, not a land without fluid.The number of voters is over 440,000.Last time, Kenji Yamada of the LDP has won over 95,000 votes.

The Hyogo 7 ward attracted attention as a constituency for the Liberal Democratic Party's candidates, Mr. Yasuda, a opposition party, and the Japan Restoration Association (hereinafter, Restoration).The constitution is also emphasized, and leading members are supported by the representative of Edano, the representative of Renhou, Deputy Representative Kiyomi Tsujimoto, and Kenta Izumi.

Mr. Yasuda appealed for enhancing welfare, correction of disparity, and gender equality.Diplomatic security has been complaining about the consolidation of "dedicated defense" based on international cooperation, and a reduction in the burden on Okinawa where US military bases are concentrated.

Let's show the election result.

Yasuda lost 64,817 votes.The proportional resurrection was not possible.

"I thought it would be a little thinner"

He told me that regret would come up.

Let's take a look at the results of the previous 2017 general election.Of course, Mr. Yasuda is not out.

Restoration is "easy -to -understand political party"

Mr. Yasuda has gained about 65,000, far exceeding the Communist Party's vote.It can be said that he had a good battle.However, Mr. Yasuda's feel would have been "winning" and "lighter".The worrisome thing is that Miki's votes of the Meiji Restoration are doubled.Why did this result?Is it often said that the anti -Liberal Vote has been reinstated?

"I think it is"

He said the impression of the Meiji Restoration through the election campaign as follows.

"Restoration is good to appeal with specific, familiar policies and words. Easy -to -understand political parties."

The Meiji Restoration extended from 11 seats to 41 seats in this election.All candidates in the constituency in Osaka were elected, and in Hyogo Prefecture, they passed alone in constituencies.The winners were given in proportional wards nationwide except for Hokkaido.However, Mr. Yasuda's "easy -to -understand political party" does not mean a good evaluation.

"There are various reasons why the votes gave a vote. I think the" Basic Income and Free Education ", which was raised by the Meiji Restoration, affected voters."

But Yasuda says.

"So, what is the financial resources for that? The Meiji Restoration did not talk about such a story from the front. It shouldn't be possible. Not easy."

"The constitution could not show who they were."

And Mr. Yasuda sees that there was a constitutional defeat.

"If you try to take the administration, you can't say anything sloppy. You become serious and sincere. I only say what I can do."

As a result, he could not appeal to voters as much as the Restoration.This is a real feeling that only people who fought the election campaign could say.He also said:

"The constitution could not show who they were."

It was an expression that looked far away.And connect words.I don't need to ask a question.The words come out next time.Indeed, it means that there is a lot to think at the beginning.

"I think the message is questioned in the election, but the world is not so easy to understand. If you try to talk about it sincerely, it will be difficult to understand. Restoration is easy to understand.difference"

At the same time, it is the poor constitutional.I tried to explain something difficult to understand seriously.It was too short in the election campaign, which was announced on the 31st of the 19th, to penetrate the 19th.

Constitution is "something like there is no political party"

But that's not all.Another cause may be even more serious.Mr. Yasuda said, "Weak legs."

"I am not enough to go around the area, and the follow -up for newcomers from the party headquarters is weak. It was almost rounded here."

It is said that the office fought in the election campaign with friends who personally supported Mr. Yasuda.A large amount of emails that could not be judged from the party headquarters received a large amount of emails, and Kinki at the headquarters came to see several times and received a phone call, but Mr. Yasuda said, "I wanted more people on the scene."。

"Of course, they (emails from the headquarters) are helpful, but some of them seemed to be" even if they were told now "."

It was, for example, information on the online exchange meeting of the newcomer candidate and election advice, but he felt that the situation at the strict site was not understood at all.

How "now" is "now"?

When asked, the staff of the staff who worked, saying, "There was a few days before the opening date."

Perhaps because he gained momentum from the helping boat, a shocking word came out of Mr. Yasuda's mouth.

"It doesn't have a political party ..."

Constitution is the first opposition party.The seats before the election are 109.Did you aim to add more votes by opposition parties?No, there is no doubt that I was aiming.However, the aim was that the function of the party was not enough to work.

After listening to the defeat, I entered the subject.How was the opposition co -fight with the existence of the Communist Party closed up?How did the opposition actually work?

First, I asked about the coalition.

"If it was said that the coalition was helpful, I had to put about 1000 posters on the public bulletin board at once on the day of the announcement, but it was a poster or about 7,000 election postcards.Collect me ... "

After that, the postcard quota was 55,000.I asked whether to see more or less 7000 of them.

"In the elections of the constitutional presence, the unions have great power. It was good for mental health that there were some reliable people."

I tried to ask my question.

"Opposition co -fight was meaningful."

"I didn't ask the Communist Party for anything," he said.So, was the opposition co -fighting meaningful?He answered it in a strong word.

"It was great that the Communist Party did not have a candidate. There are about 20,000 votes of the Communist Party."

It is great to get 20,000 votes from the Communist Party.You can see from the 2017 election results.The Communist Party has more than 36,000 candidates.Twenty of them is the Communist Party's basic vote.In other words, Mr. Yasuda got the basic vote and won more than 40,000 votes.

"Opposition co -fights were meaningful."

Yasuda said so.And it simply added, "It's not just a vote."

"The real meaning is that we were able to act together where we could match each other. We exchanged opinions, and other opposition parties worked together, but there were some votes that were far away, but more.I feel that the Japanese constitution has become an important node to step up. "

However, I felt that it was difficult to explain the opposition co -fight in a short period of time.

"What will be done by opposition parties? It is about the restoration of constitutionalism and democracy, facing the limits of neoliberalism, stopping such a society, and creating a society where young people have hope.It is necessary to take the time to sue. "

Mr. Yasuda emphasized that opposition co -fights should proceed even if they are severe.And he said that the Allied would be generous for the current political situation.

"Of course, the relationship with the coalition is also important. The constitution is still a political party that protects workers. Not only the coalition, but all the Japanese people should now review their awareness of the Japanese Communist Party.I think it's coming. "

Kanako Otsuji from the 2nd ward of Osaka

"Candidate adjustment is important. I haven't seen everything, but have you won where you haven't made one (in opposition parties)?"

Kanako Otsuji (46), who lost from the 2nd ward of Osaka, said about opposition co -fights.

Otsuji is from Osaka.He left Doshisha University's Faculty of Commerce, passed the Osaka Prefectural Council, and the lower house of the House of Representatives ... It looks like a smooth sailing life, but not.He has announced that he is a sexual minority and has appealed to a society where no one is left behind.In 2019, she submitted a partial revision of the Civil Code that enables same -sex marriage.The member of the Diet is the second challenge after the challenge.She has also been defeated.The qualifications of social workers and care workers are the qualifications to live in order to live.

It was this election aimed at re -election.

The two wards of Osaka, where Mr. Otsuji appeared, consists of residential areas in southern Osaka.There are Nagai Park, which also holds the world athletics and J -League games, and a popular artist concert, but it can be said to be a common area.

First, let's look at this election result.

It was noted that a newcomer of the Japan Restoration Association (hereinafter referred to as the Restoration) was elected by holding down the Liberal Democratic Party veteran who was elected continuously.The Meiji Restoration is a candidate in 15 of the 19 small constituencies in Osaka.One of them is the two wards of Osaka, where Otsuji was defeated.

Mr. Otsuji responded to the coordination of pink, his symbol color.She first came from the constituency.

"This is an urban election. In addition, the Komeito party has a strong area in the constituency. It feels like the LDP has won the synergistic effect of the LDP rather than a strong LDP."

The Meiji Restoration establishes a "brand" by taking the chief

This time, Mr. Otsuji sees that the Meiji Restoration really won.

"Because Masaru Morishima is one of the Ace of the Meiji Restoration."

And break the LDP veteran.

Let's look at the previous 2017 election results.

As he recognizes, Mr. Otsuji is not always a strong candidate for elections.Last time, proportional resurrection was revived with constitutional momentum.However, in the national news, the national news has been reported in the national session, such as drawing out the quality of the Corona in the Diet.I thought his four -year track record should have penetrated the area ... In fact, many members of the Diet, such as Uhiro Kuroiwa, were often lost.

Under these circumstances, Mr. Otsuji aimed to acquire floating votes in addition to constitution and communist.She got the support of the Union as a recommendation candidate for the Union.However, it is true that the Union has no past momentum.

What was your expectation before the announcement?

"The Liberal Democratic Party, the Restoration and I were aiming to become a dumpling with 80,000 votes."

However, the result is the overwhelming victory of the Restoration.

"Restoration was stronger than expected."

Mr. Otsuji spoke plainly.She may have no choice but to speak plainly.The Meiji Restoration was strong in Osaka.Mr. Yasuda, who was interviewed last time, said that the results of the Meiji Restoration and Constitution were on the front and back of how to proceed with the election campaign.Mr. Otsuji said the same from a different perspective.

"We are more human elections than political parties. For example, candidates are fighting in each color in individual election activities. I am pink. I think Yasuda is certainly yellow. The constitution is blue.Everyone fought in each color. "

I say that the revival was different.

"Restoration is more political party than people. I was fighting under the brand of Restoration. I was fighting with the yellow -green of the Meiji Restoration."

Was the Meiji brand established a brand?

"That's because I'm taking the chief. Mr. Yoshimura, governor of Osaka Prefecture, appears on TV every day for Corona."

Governor Yoshimura is not a representative of the Restoration.He appears on TV as the governor of Osaka Prefecture.He also plays the program, including the information press programs I have appeared.However, the person appears to support the candidates for individual regulations.It establishes a brand of Restoration.It can be said that it occupies a major part of the fact that the Restoration won in Osaka, which has many exposure.

"I can't win without creating a composition of the ruling and opposition parties."

Did the opposition co -fight work or not?

"Opposition co -fights worked well in the one -person ward of the Upper House election (2019)."

And I said as follows.

"It is true that there were many close -ups in this election. I have to think about the fact that the proportional votes did not extend, but in the constituency, there were many places where I lost the race.I don't think I can win. "

And the word at the beginning.

"Is there a place where you won (in opposition parties)?"

Of course, there are exceptions.However, according to an investigation, only two constituencies obtained a seat with both constitution and communist sides.One of them is Hitoshi Matsubara in Tokyo 3 wards, so it would be reasonable that the Communist Party could not get it.In other constituencies, they are losing the place.In some constituencies, adding constitution and communist votes exceeded the winning LDP candidates.

How was the coalition in Otsuji's election?

"I am a coalition recommendation, and it is definitely the mother of the election campaign."

The words are inevitable.Is it the size of the shock that showed the strength of the revival?

So how was the instructions from the party headquarters?Mr. Yasuda said, "(Constitution) is something like there is no political party ..."Mr. Otsuji seemed to have the same situation.

"The situation (in the constituency) was delivered before the announcement, but it was basically that kind of thing."

So I asked if it would be difficult to win in the election.

"Because it is a political party four years ago, there is no organizational power like the LDP."

When asked about Mr. Edano's resignation, he chose words.

"Someone has to take responsibility ... I feel like the representative will take responsibility."

Constitution loses.But did the opposition co -fighting lose?

"In fact, there are many cases where I brought it into a close battle and lost."And he said in a slightly strong tone.

"It is necessary to calmly analyze the election results."

I asked about the future.What should the opposition co -fighting be?

"It is necessary to think about the way of opposition parties, but there is no doubt that we can only win unless it is a opposition parties. It is necessary to have specific discussions on how to proceed.Isn't it important to devise the way to the opposition co -fighting to each place? "

I dared to ask.

"Does the opposition co -fighting include the Communist Party?"

"exactly"

I repeated that.

"I can't win without creating a composition of the ruling and opposition parties."

[Apology] The name of the Liberal Democratic Party's candidate left from the 2nd ward of Osaka is written as "Sato" and has been corrected.He was really rude.
