The four opposition parties, including the Constitutional Democratic Party, signed a common policy for the lower house election on the 8th.
Given that the environment for promoting opposition cooperation has been set up, the policy is to accelerate the coordination of election cooperation, such as unifying candidates.
On the 8th, the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party, and the four opposition parties of the Reiwa Shinsengumi signed a common policy for the House of Representatives election, which includes strengthening measures against the new corona virus and reducing the consumption tax.

There are about 70 competing zones between the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party over the unification of opposition candidates, and the Constitutional Democratic Party wants to ask the Communist Party to withdraw the candidate as much as possible.
The Communist Party says that the withdrawal requires an agreement on how to cooperate after the change of government, so discussions are expected to take place.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party for the People's Democratic Party has forgotten to conclude a common policy because there is a policy gap, and Secretary-General Hariba said, "We will appeal for a realistic policy without signing at a later date."
For this reason, the Constitutional Democratic Party has a policy of promoting election cooperation with the Democratic Party for the People, taking into account the circumstances of individual constituencies.
