Somebody with more knowledge of the electoral geography of Japan could correct me, but that country could be an interesting case study. So Tokyo and Osaka (from what I know) is full of more swingy voters - they don't make up the huge voter bank or machine voting that sustains the LDP, but sort of shop around for mavericks.  So in that way they aren't conservative - in a small c sense - but they do tend to elect the activist right a lot. (e.g, Hashimoto, Ishihara etc.)
