平岡氏は離党の理由を「高市自民党に対抗するため、中道、立憲、公明の連携は必要だが、一つの政党になることは、地域の実情に合っていないと感じたため」とした。Mr. Hiraoka explained that his reason for leaving the party was that “in order to counter the Liberal Democratic Party led by Ms. Takichi, a coalition between center-left, constitutionalist, and Komeito parties is necessary, but he felt that forming a single political party would not be suitable given the local circumstances.”
