2021-11-03 "A person who may be hated like a caterpillar by the people, but is absolutely necessary for the party" [長年日記]

"After the polls close, a quick election report is like a self-grading program -- someone else's"

I've been lazily watching the election specials that I had recorded.

Reviewing election results that we already know is in very bad taste, but also a pleasure.

-----

It is also fun to review the predictions of the newspapers before the election and the exit poll results of the TV stations, which we will see after the results are known.

As I wrote over here, I wonder if predicting elections is still "difficult".

Or should I say that it is "great" that the order of seats won by each party has been guessed correctly?

For this election, I was going to check the prediction accuracy of each station and compare them, but it was too much trouble and I decided not to do it.

The "virtual winner" is determined by each station on its own (arbitrary) basis, so sometimes "corrections" are made.

However, no one seems to be very angry about this. Except for the candidates and their supporters, it is enough for them to know the results after the polls open.

-----

It's a strange thing, but lately "election bulletin programs" have been interesting.

It is especially amusing to see a strong candidate fail to get elected.

However, I get angry when they come back in proportional district elections.

This time, there were two such people (if you are interested, please refer to my past blogs).

"I think, "Why don't we make the proportional voter list by voter's ballot instead of making it by each party?

However, I think that the public would be more satisfied if there was no need to create a proportional list (make everyone on the list number one), and the winners would be chosen in order of the percentage of close defeats.

Well, in terms of running the party,

"A person who may be hated like a caterpillar by the people, but is absolutely necessary for the party"

is existed.

I guess it's kind of like "the company where all the employees were elected and only the president was not.

But I don't think both he and she are the only ones we need in our national government. I'm sure there are many people in the world who think the same way I do.

Maybe that's why this voting system is "the way to go," though.

Anyway, this election event, in which "party leaders and secretary generals sometimes fail to win"

is really fun.

I hope that you will join us and have fun with us at this event.
