Following the House of Representatives, the ruling coalition has also lost its majority in the House of Councilors.
--- The rising trend of populism.
On the 20th of July, in the election for the House of Councilors, the ruling parties, the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito, significantly fell back, resulting in a loss of majority.
However, the ones that expanded their influence instead were the National Democratic Party advocating class collaboration, the Sanseito (conservative party) for the second consecutive time following last year's House of Representatives election.
The distrust and dissatisfaction of people towards the ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito have not led to the development of workers' unity and struggle but rather have boosted populist forces.

Noda, the head of the Constitutional Democratic Party, turns his back on the fight;
they have given up on submitting the cabinet no-confidence resolution.

Before the end of the ordinary session of the National Diet, June 22, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), which is the only opposition party that holds enough seats to independently submit a no-confidence motion, did not submit a no-confidence motion.
However, the Ishiba administration is in a deadlock, as it has covered up the Liberal Democratic Party's slush fund issues, failed to advance political reforms, and has been unable to implement effective measures to address rising prices.
