How did Vincenzo De Luca's strategies and the political weaknesses of Naples contribute to his decade-long dominance in Campania?

De Luca's decade-long power, built on exploiting the weaknesses of Naples' political class and leveraging crises, is ending. His economic achievements, such as the new Salerno airport, are significant but insufficient to overcome the political shift. The agreement with Schlein signifies a strategic realignment of political forces in the region.

What is the immediate impact of the projected election results on the Japanese government and its stability?

The ruling coalition in Japan is projected to lose its upper house majority, based on exit polls, potentially causing political instability as a trade deadline with the U.S. approaches. While the election doesn't directly trigger a government collapse, it increases pressure on Prime Minister Kishida, who also lost control of the more powerful lower house in October. The exit polls predict the ruling coalition will secure far fewer seats than needed to retain control.

How do the election results reflect broader trends in Japanese politics and voter sentiment?

The projected loss reflects voter discontent with Ishiba's leadership amid rising prices, economic challenges, and political scandals. The shift in support, partly towards the Sanseito party with its right-wing views, also signals a change in the LDP's conservative support base, as noted by Jeffrey Hall of Kanda University.

How did the Sanseito party's online campaign strategy and its focus on economic issues contribute to its electoral success?

Sanseito's success is rooted in public frustration with the LDP's handling of the economy, including stagnant wages and rising prices, and its perceived failure to address concerns about immigration. The party capitalized on online platforms to reach younger voters, promising tax cuts and increased support for families. This resonates with voters feeling economically insecure and disillusioned with the established political order.

How does President Trump's legislative success compare to previous presidents, and what factors beyond party unity explain the variations in their achievements?

Trump's legislative success is attributed to the unified Republican party, unlike the Democratic party's diverse coalition, which often hinders agenda passage, according to political scientist Dr. David Townley. This contrasts with presidents like Clinton and Obama, who faced internal party divisions, and also with Republican presidents like Reagan and Nixon who collaborated with Democrats to pass legislation.

How do the existing political structures and educational systems in Japan contribute to the lack of youth engagement in the political process?

This low youth voter turnout stems from a combination of political apathy, fueled by feelings of political exclusion and a lack of understanding of the political system, and practical obstacles. Many young people feel their voices are not heard, leading to disengagement from the political process. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the current political landscape consists mostly of older politicians who don't adequately represent their interests.
