    I feel like every country that used to pretty cool, is just devolving into a political hellscape, because a small group of assholes are firmly convinced that they should be in charge of what everyone else does, thinks, and feels.

    Another possibility is that the opposition parties unite to form the government - the largest one, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), won 148 seats up from 98 previously.

    But that is a more unlikely scenario as Japan’s opposition parties historically have faced difficulty in uniting or convincing voters they are a viable option to govern.

    Extremely strange conclusions. If they won the election there is no “convincing voters” step for parliamentary alliances. I don’t know if BBC is displaying outrageous favoritism, or if Japan is truly weird.
