Renho's camp had a terrible strategy, and more than that, it's a conundrum why the CDPJ fielded Renho.
If they had fielded someone with a more conservative leaning, it might have had a chance. Nevertheless, the foolish strategy of the suspicion about (* Koike's) educational background vs suspicion about her nationality, and her repeated statements that pandered to the JCP, which made non-partisan voters turn their back.
It seemed to me that she was deliberately trying to lose the election.
Ishimaru has proven that it's possible to get votes with just short footages on YouTube and social media.
I think that, in the future, Japanese politics will become more "getting popularity over power struggles" and the level will deteriorate even further.
