　Populism is also proliferating in local and national politics at the mercy.
---　The background and how the workers should fight!

　In this year's successive municipal elections (and the House of Representatives elections), populist politics that pandered to the masses and buried themselves in short-term profits was rampant. In the gubernatorial election to choose the mayor of the capital city of Tokyo, Ishimaru, the former mayor of Akitakata, received 1658000 votes, second only to Koike. It marked the beginning of the election that followed, in which populism was rampant.
　Hyogo Governor Saito, who relentlessly searched for whistleblowing officials and drove a prefectural employee to suicide due to power harassment, was unanimously confronted with a no-confidence motion in the prefectural assembly and lost his job. Saito ran for governor of the prefecture and was re-elected, overturning initial expectations that re-election would be impossible, and made the same shock as the governor of Tokyo (Saito received 1110000 votes, and Inamura, who was the runner-up, received 976000 votes).
　In the Nagoya mayoral election, Hirosawa, who succeeded Kawamura, co-leader of the Japan Conservative Party, won by a large margin over Otsuka, who was initially reported to have the upper hand (Hirosawa 392000 , Otsuka 261000 votes). What these elections have in common is that they all advocated reform and pushed forward a position against established parties that defend vested interests. Of course, the issues that were fought in Tokyo, Hyogo, and Nagoya were different.
