CDP lawmaker Fujiawara Norimasa on the Upper House election:
"At a critical moment when the rise of the far-right was anticipated, they flooded the field with opposition candidates, only to end up dragging each other down.
What do those who lost a "precious seat" as a result think now?
What do the citizens who watched the whole episode-- how they effectively helped prolong the career of a far-right lawmaker tainted by slush funds and discrimination against Okinawa--think?
The lack of imagination is terrifying. As the largest opposition party, they must seriously reflect on this."
He appears to be referring to the case of Kyoto, where many opposition parties ran separate candidates, splitting the anti-LDP vote and possibly contributing to the re-election of LDP lawmaker Nishida Shoji.

極右勢力の台頭が予測された重大な局面で、野党を乱立させた挙げ句共倒れ。
その結果「宝の議席」を失った相手はどう思うか？裏金・沖縄差別の極右議員の延命に手を貸した一部始終を見ていた市民はどう思うか？
想像力の欠如は恐ろしい。野党第一党として猛省しなければならない。
