TL;DR Sanseito, a Japanese right-wing party, gained significant influence in the House of Councillors election, expanding from one seat to 14. Former member Kazuya and observer Kuroneko Doraneko believe the party’s success is attributed to its founder Sohei Kamiya’s worldview, which incorporates conspiracy theories and prewar revisionist history. They argue that Sanseito’s ideology, centered around Kamiya, could potentially impact future policy decisions.
