A proposal to reduce the number of seats in Japan's Lower House may be put on hold after the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, which houses deep-rooted opposition to the plan, won big in the chamber's election on Feb. 8. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/17/japan/politics/lower-house-cut-stall/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #lowerhouse #ldp #jip #sanaetakaichi

Make no mistake, she and the LDP’s big win is attributable to her energy, her image and her vision. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/editorials/2026/02/13/takaichi-takes-command/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #editorials #sanaetakaichi #ldp #lowerhouse #jip #cdp #komeito #shinzoabe #china #taiwan #us #donaldtrump #xijinping #2026lowerhouseelection

Czy Takaichi może zmienić konstytucję?

W wyborach do izby wyższej w 2022 LDP objęła 61 mandatów a JIP 12, co oznacza, że ze 124 mandatów, które wchodzą do gry w wyborach w 2028 roku 73 należą do koalicji. Ponieważ większość 2/3 w Izbie Radców wynosi 166, to koalicja LDP-JIP, aby ją uzyskać musiałaby zdobyć w wyborach w 2028 roku 119 ze 124 mandatów.
