Missing information on endorsers/supporters/electoral alliances for district winners

Since the Yomiuri Shimbun seems to have omitted all endorser/supporter parties of district winners (but included them for losing candidates), that information is missing from the list. Unless someone else does the work, I'll add them at some point in the future. Generally, they should be included as there are local deviations from nationwide alliances for individual candidates, and they also indicate the local strength of minor/non-national parties, see for example the JRP support for coalition candidates in some areas (in this case, mostly in vain as the party's existence was virtually ignored by the electorate and the DPJ won in a landslide anyway) --Asakura Akira (talk) 13:51, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
