    The older I get, the more I believe that some democracies are nothing but uniparty rule dressed up as choice. Japan is one example. The US is another.

      It’s actually extremely antidemocratic to hold up bipartisanship as a virtue. Literally believing that the more that the two parties act as one party, the better is beyond insane.

      Japan has been run by the same party since the second world war, with a single brief change of power in the 2010s.

      Japan has a ruling party and an opposition.
