The rise of communism in Japan

Japan is one of the capitasit countries. Today, more and more the gap between rich and poor is broadening because of globalization led by neo-liberalist party, Liberal Democratic Party of Japan(LDP) This is beacause the number of Japanese work as a part-time worker is increasing. The part-time workers aren't payed enough and get enough social welfare.
On 14th December, Japan had a national election and LDP won 291 seats(abmong 480 seats) in National Diet(congress) It means Japanese supported LDP's policy which benefits richer people. 

But there is another party which increased much more support from voters than the last election-Japanese communist party(JCP)- 
JCP has supported those part-time workers and argued that they should be more rewarded and fund abundant social welfare. So it's probable that lower classed vote for JCP and JCP gained more seats than the past. (8 -> 21 seats)

In a certain online forum, where poor people gather and dscuss politics, people got deligheted with the result.

Since their thoughs are opposite, LDP and JCP has been hostlie to each other. Thus, if LDP doesn't try to solve the poverty problem, JCP will gain more power and strong influence on  Japanese politics. It is probable that the Japanese map turns to red.
