Japan is a non-democratic country.
In Japan, the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP) is the largest.
The president of the LDP is elected by about 900,000 party members and supporters.
A Japanese can become an LDP member or supporter for an annual fee of 4,000 Yen.
The total number of voters in Japan is about 104 million.
That is, only 1% elect Japan's Premier.
Let me explain more precisely.
I this election, there are 295 LDP Diet members (295 votes) and 295 party member votes allocated using the D'Hondt method from 900,000 party members and supporters, making a total of 590 votes.
In the runoff election between the top 2 candidates, there are 295 votes from 295 LDP Diet members and one vote from party members and supporters per prefecture (47 votes), making a total of 342 votes.
LDP Diet members said "In the end, we voted according to the votes of party members and supporters".
Japan is a non-democratic country.

Japan’s LDP elects Takaichi as new leader, likely to be first female PM
If elected prime minister, Takaichi will face a host of issues, including an ageing population and growing unease about immigration.

Sanae Takaichi has been elected as the head of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and is therefore likely to become the next prime minister and the first woman to lead the country.
A vote in parliament to choose the next prime minister is expected to be held on October 15.
A former economic security minister, Takaichi, 64, skews towards the right-wing flank of the LDP.
Her election only involved 295 LDP parliamentarians and about 1 million dues-paying members.
It only reflected one percent of the Japanese public.
Takaichi is expected to replace Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba since the LDP remains the largest party in parliament.
‘No interest in women’s rights’
Coming from the traditionalist wing of the LDP, celebrations that a woman is finally leading Japan may soon turn to disappointment.
Takaichi “has no interest in women’s rights or gender equality policies,” Yuki Tsuji, a professor specialising in politics and gender at Tokai University, told the AFP news agency.

日本は非民主主義国家。
日本では、日本自民党が第1党。
日本自民党の総裁は、党員・党友90万人により選出される。
年会費4000円で、自民党の党員・党友になれる。
日本の有権者総数は、約1億400万人。
つまり、たった1%が日本の首相を選出していることになる。
もう少し詳しく説明すると。
自民党国会議員295名(295票)、党員・党友90万人の票をドント方式で配分する党員票295票、の合計590票。
上位2名の決選投票では、自民党国会議員295名(295票)および都道府県ごとに1票ある党員・党友票(47票)、の合計342票。
自民党国会議員は、「最終的に党員・党友票に合わせて投票した」、と言っている。
日本は非民主主義国家。

日本の自民党のリーダーにタカイチが選出される。日本初の女性首相となりそうだ。
首相に選出されるとタカイチは、高齢化や移民に対する不安の増大などの多くの問題に直面することになる。
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/4/japans-ldp-elects-takaichi-as-new-leader-likely-to-be-first-female-pm
サナエタカイチが、日本の与党の自民党の党首に選出され、ということは次期首相になりそうであり、日本初の女性首相になりそうである。
次期首相を選ぶための国会での投票は、10月15日に開催される予定である。
64歳のタカイチは、元経済安全保障ダイジンで、自民党で右派よりである。
この選挙では、295名の自民党国会議員と約100万人の会費を払う会員が関与しているだけである。
これは日本国民の1%しか反映していない。
自民党が第1党なので、タカイチは、シゲル・イシバに代わり首相となる見込みだ。
女性の権利には興味がない
自民党保守派出身であるため、女性がついに日本の首相になったという祝賀ムードは、すぐに失望に変わるかもしれない。
「タカイチは、"女性の権利やジェンダー平等政策に全く関心がない"」と、トウカイ大学政治・ジェンダー専門教授のユキ・ツジはAFP通信に言った。

ドント方式（どんとほうしき）は、政党名簿比例代表において議席を配分するための最高平均方式（highest averages method）のひとつである。
この方式はベルギーの数学者ヴィクトル・ドントから名づけられた。
ドント方式の配分法は、トーマス・ジェファーソンが、有権者数に基づいて各選挙区に議員定数を割り当てるために考案したジェファーソン方式と同一の結果を与える。
