This week’s episode assesses recent election results in both Japan and the US, looking back at Japan’s General Election and the off-year elections in Virginia and New Jersey. Fumio Kishida’s Liberal Democratic Party has retained a majority in the Diet in a bad night for the Opposition. Has Kishida solidified his place within the LDP? Can the Japanese opposition win under different party banners? Is the Innovation Party a long-term threat on the right of Japanese politics? Will next year’s Upper House elections be competitive?

With Joe Biden’s first electoral test as President around the corner, Sam and Chern look at the state of the race in Virginia and New Jersey where Democrats are defending control of the Governor’s Office in both states. Former Governor Terry McAuliffe is eyeing up a return to the office in a very tight race, and Phil Murphy is looking for a second term. Why are these races in seemingly blue states looking to be quite close? Why do Virginia and New Jersey hold their gubernatorial elections in off-years? Is Terry McAuliffe not an effective candidate for the Democrats within Virginia? Is Trump playing a role in these Republican challenges? All these questions and more answered in this week’s episode.
