It succeeds in estimating the preferences of individual politicians-including prime ministers and other top leaders-in the most straightforward and reliable way and comparing them with voters on the same scale. As a result, Masaki Taniguchi shows, the survey empirically reveals that the Liberal Democratic Party has been able to maintain one-party dominance despite its unprecedented shift to the right since 2012-not because voters' preferences have become more conservative but because it has maintained its valence in economic policy, which is not related to the left-right axis in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMasaki Taniguchi \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Political Science at the University of Tokyo.
