I find it interesting that all the people that have complained about the LDP government up until their upset by the Minshuto have not mentioned the current election that is on-going today. Apparently Minshuto is holding out for penalty kicks, or going to announce a new manifest. LDP is kicking some serious butt compared to last election and may clear over 50 seats.
Results by NHK at 22:00:
LDP: 42 seats
Minshuto: 35 seats
Komeito: 7 seats
Communists: 2 seats
Shaminto: 1 seat
Minna no To 5: seats
Remainder: 0
Remaining seats: 29
