Japan's Sanae Takaichi has won a landslide election. She presents herself as a new broom & a break from past leaders with her love of heavy metal & motorbikes. But she is an ultra-conservative & leader of the Liberal Democratic Party who have dominated post-war Japanese politics.

Takaichi staked her premiership on a bet that the country would embrace her bluntly-spoken conservatism, promises of a new era of prosperity and expansive spending pledges. The opposition bloc offered an alternative to voters nervous about Takaichi’s right-wing politics. www.ft.com/content/0456...
