>nishio We have released a new service, "Yoron Chizu(Opinion Map)," for Japan's upcoming House of Representatives election. This service visualizes people's opinions alongside those of political parties, allowing anyone to see an overview of public opinion.
>nishio In this case, we can see that in addition to the opinion group that includes the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the group that includes opposition parties, there is a third group. Such visualization helps prevent political debates from falling into a false dichotomy.
>nishio This system is a redesign of "Polis," which has been used in Taiwan's digital democracy. It developed as a new feature of JAPAN CHOICE, one of Japan's largest election information sites, provided by Mielka, an NPO that has long been supporting youth participation in politics.
>nishio I'd like to express my gratitude to @glenweyl and @mashbean for their participation in the discussion. Their insights have been invaluable in shaping our understanding and enhancing the project. Thank you both for your time and dedication.
