Almost an exact reversal of 2009, at least in the PV spread.

Wiki says that the DPJ and LDP have agreed to a snap election in January once a VAT increase is passed. Any news on that?

Some updates from Tanigaki's Wiki page: the HOR passed the VAT hike and a censure motion against Noda. Now the opposition parties are boycotting debate and apparently Tanigaki might face leadership challenges from Abe and others.

Factional crap again? Cause he's about to lead them back to power so presumably it isn't a performance problem.

I strongly doubt the other contenders are any more impressive, but they'll probably do it if the factions can agree on a single Anti-Tanigaki. As for the editorial agreed 100%. Brazen contempt for voter intelligence.

Nathan or jaichind, can you explain the misogyny thing for those of us who don't usually follow Japanese politics?

Turkeys voting for Xmas? Though I'm quite disappointed that the LDP opposes TPP, if not surprised because they're pandering to Big Ag.

So the LDP gets a small majority?

So Abe gets a bigger mandate than Koizumi ever did. Ugh.

He's a nationalist, not a far-right neo-fascist. And positively dovish compared to the JRP whackos.

Are the seats left to call (90 if my math's right) PR or FPTP?

Does the NHK ticker count LDP/NKP together or separately? Cause right now they don't have 2/3 if grouped together. I assume light grey is miscellaneous.

How long will it take for them to tabulate the FPTP PV? Unless that's already been done.

PV has been tabulated. LDP: 43% FPTP, 28% PR. DPJ: 23% FPTP, 15% PR. JRP actually got a higher PR vote than DPJ.

And Abe will be confirmed on the 26th.

The Noda cabinet has resigned in advance of Abe's confirmation vote.
