Japan Election: Proportional representation never looked so good




Rejoice! Kumiko Hayakawa (pictured with friends) may well have lost her race, but fear not thanks to the Buddha of proportional representation, she should be sitting pretty in parliament. And here she is again:



Secret handshake to Soma.

Dear Mr. Ourmani,

I would like to represent my proportions to Ms. Hayakawa and / or her friends. Please supply me with further details.

Yours sincerely

A Dedicated Activist.

Tanaka-san Mieko made it by way of PR! Her page has been down most of the night so maybe pictures have not been forthcoming.

Tanaka said...

Awesome! I'd like to show her my proportion.

YES WE CAN

In by PR - Although Tanaka san pushed Mori to within 1.5%

Ota Kusumi retained her seat in Fukushima 2 (near my 古里)

Although Kusumoto Kiyo was comfortably beaten in her seat and looks almost definite to miss out on a PR seat

Sad, was my favourite, and had a pretty slick website.
