失意の蓮舫氏
予想通り蓮舫氏が落選した。しかも、小池氏との接線の上での落選ならまだしも、３位というのは彼女にとって予想外であっただろう。事前の連勝で反自民を立憲民主党への支持と勘違いして、勢いにのって都知事選に出馬したのだと判断しているが、政党支持率をみても、立憲民主党が支持を増やしている形跡はない。
自民党は腐敗しているが、その自民党を非難してばかりいる今の野党も問題外である。あら捜しの好きな弁護士集団に政権を託す事は永久にないだろう。
自民党の政治家達は自分達のありようを「真摯に反省したい」としばしば言うが、殆ど外交辞令のようである。市民と政治家の乖離が進行している。
Renho is disappointed
As expected, Renho lost the election. Moreover, while it would have been one thing if she had lost because of a close race with Koike, coming in third place was unexpected for her. It has been determined that she ran in the Tokyo gubernatorial election on the strength of her consecutive victories, mistaking anti-LDP sentiment for support for the Constitutional Democratic Party, but even when looking at party approval ratings, there is no sign of the Constitutional Democratic Party gaining support.
The LDP is corrupt, but the current opposition parties, which are constantly criticizing the LDP, are also out of the question. We will never entrust the government to a group of lawyers who love to find fault with things.
Politicians of the Liberal Democratic Party often say that they "want to sincerely reflect on their behavior," but this seems like little more than diplomatic language. The gap between citizens and politicians is widening.
