Chart in Nikkei showing voting by age in PR bloc from Kyodo exit poll in today’s upper house election in Japan. Clear generational divide: older voters preferring LDP/Komeito gov and main opposition CDP, but younger voters esp opting for new DPP and Sanseito. New parties also attracting those in 40s-50s, who entered workforce in post-bubble burst jobs ‘ice age’. Parties from left to right: LDP, Komeito, CDP, DPP, Sanseito, Ishin, JCP, Reiwa, Hoshu, other.
