We'll have an election tomorrow (29 July 2007). It's for the House of Councillors. At elections, all the posters should be put on this official board, according to the election laws.
[UPDATE: 30 July 2007]
The results came over night. Of the twenty candidates in Tokyo (some of them don't have their posters on this board), five are elected, whom I've marked as "notes" on the picture. The largest opposition, the Liberal Party (LJP), took two out of five. One seat went to an incubent member from the Komei Party, which is no surprise. An independent candidate, Mr Kawada, took one seat. And surprisingly, the LDP failed to get their incubent member through but the newbie-cutie Ms Marukawa did win a seat.
Overall, the election's result is a sweet victory for the Liberal Party of Japan. At the same time, it is a nightmare for the the governing Liberal Democrat Party, who are not liberal or democratic in my view. They have lost the control of the Upper House for the first time in fifteen years or so. This must be hard, even if not unbearable, for the prime minister Shinzo Abe, who is a grandson of Nobusuke Kishi (a war criminal) and Kan Abe (a pre-war era pacifist), and a son of a former foreign minister.
The Financial Times has published a good article, "Japan’s voters give Abe a thrashing":

According to the reports, the turnout was 58.64 per cent, which is relatively high -- you may have read how Japanese voters are lazy, and it is sadly true. Shinzo Abe's arrogant government has "reformed" educational principles, and wants to "reform" our constitution, which will change Japan for ever, but less than 60 per cent of voters had their say. Don't say it's "because the Japanese are shy" or "they can't say no". 40 per cent are not interested. 40 per cent do not think their votes would change anything. I think this is what is called "apathy".
The left-wingers, the Social Democrats and the Communist Party, are now totally marginalised. Their decline bagan years ago, but this time, it's ultimate. I think they should have joined together if they were to defend the Article Nine. Both the LDP and the LJP are willing to get rid of the Article Nine, while the majority of the Japanese people want to keep it (according to a recent poll).
part of my Chalkboard project...asking people around New York how they are feeling at particularly defined moments...post-election, holidays, etc.
Last sunday was our election day. We voted our new parliament. I hoped for a change but sadly the party of Chancellor Merkel won again. Good was that her current coalition partner, the liberals, aren't represented in the new parliament again and so Merkel has no majority in the new plenum.
There would be the possibility that Merkel has to go in the opposition, but this only happens when the social democrats, the greens and the left party make a coalition. Sadly the social democrats and the greens don't want to work together with the left party and so it seems that Merkel will stay our Chancellor for the next four years... fucking hell!

The guy in the suit came up to me and the people I was with (also foreigners) and said in English "I am comedian!" So...he was a comedian. But it's election season, so it had something to do with that too...
Als Weimarer Republik bezeichnet man den Zeitabschnitt der deutschen Geschichte zwischen 1919 und 1933. In diesen Jahren konnte die erste demokratische Grundordnung auf deutschem Boden installiert werden. Die Wahlen und Wahlkämpfe, die während dieser Zeit stattfanden, brachten ein enormes Ausmaß an Emotionalität an den Tag und die Wahlplakate demonstrieren dies sehr eindrucksvoll. Prägnante Symbole, martialisch eingesetzt von allen Parteien, charakterisieren eine Gesellschaft am Abgrund.
Nov 5 2017 - Mayoral elections were held in Montreal this Sunday.. we got a new Mayor and our first woman as mayor in Montreal. Valerie Plante beat out incumbant Denis Coderre. Interesting times ahead. This guy on the poster in my riding won representing projet Mtl (Valerie Plante's party). In a rare moment I would have been satisfied with either party winning and either candidate for Mayor so it's a win win for me regardless of the outcome. I don't think I've ever thought like that before especially in this very divisive political world.
Though the election on March 8 was an election in name only, it offered the citizens an opportunity to party. These young people seemed to have lots of fun. Seen at Pyongyang Maternity Hospital (평양상원).

Oregon mail-in elections rule!
(For those who aren't in Oregon and don't pay attention to such things: for more than a decade now ALL Oregon elections have been vote-by-mail which has increased voter turnout and reduced costs. The Post has a good story on the matter: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A40032-2004Dec31.h...
