Never ask a man his salary

Never ask a woman her age

And never ask what a Christian Democrat is up to in a liberal democracy.

Ummm AKSHULLY the LDP rules in a coalition with the Komeito, so it’s clearly a healthy multiparty system.

What is the Komeito? Oh no need to look it up, it’s definitely not affiliated with any sort of weird cult or anything.

Of all those states only Cuba is one party. And its Legislature is elected without party campaigning.

Self-aware liberals call the Japanese system a “one-party dominant” system. If they weren’t dishonest anti-communists, they’d call China the same thing since it also has minority parties but that are constitutionally required to be subordinate.

The party’s history and internal composition have been characterized by intense factionalism ever since its emergence in 1955, with its parliamentary members currently split among six factions, each of which vies for influence in the party and the government.

Libs will nod along to this and say these are real, meaningful intraparty policy differences (and they’ll point to the same thing with U.S. primaries), then turn around and tell you that a “one-party” AES state is actually a dictatorship with no democratic input.

And at the same time lament over certain factions of the CPC winning out.

Wikipedia makes the rules, I don’t :shrug-outta-hecks:

Though, even in the other countries, the communist party serves a fundamentally different role as an appendage of the workers’ state as opposed to a party in a liberal democracy.

Honestly this really shows how the number of parties in government does not have a relation to how well a state is governed.

“I don’t support one-party dictatorships!”

(wishes agonizing death and environmental destruction to all people and communities that don’t demonstrate adequate fealty to the democratic party)
