Sanae Kaohsiung and her Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) achieved an overwhelming victory in this election! How big was their victory? To use an imperfect analogy, imagine you did exceptionally well on a test, and the teacher says, "I really want to give you 120 points, but the maximum score is only 100. You can choose to give the remaining 20 points to a classmate you like." Based on their vote count, Kaohsiung's party could have had 80 members elected as proportional representatives, but only 63 were eligible.

How big was Takaichi's victory last night? So big that the LDP had to cede 13 seats to other parties because it didn't have enough candidates. The party won enough votes for 80 PR seats, but only had 67 candidates to fill them (as so many won in single-member districts)
