Single party democracies (real democracies) are very rare, and that alone makes Japan and Malaysia remarkably similar. The similarities in recent elections makes it even more interesting. Of course the aren't the same (no ethnic aspect in Japan), but they have held their majority by keeping a vast coalition of interests together and happy. I think the post speaks for itself.

BN is a coalition predominatly lead by United Malays National Organization and other parties are also representing race groups while Japan's LDP is marely a coalition of fractions lead by party figures. And in Malysia there is a real opposition going out to the streets such as ethnic Indians opposing Malay-first adffirmative action policy recently.In Japan,I see no such crowd antwhere. One thing I find similarity is two former government top figures are shuffling cards behind curtains in both nations.In Japan,ex-PM Koizumi Jyunichiro and in Malaysia,ex-vice PM Anwar Ibrahim.
