Why LDP is still strong even though it sucks (but I don't say there are any other good party) is due to single-seat constituency system that aims two-party system learned from USA. Thanks USA!

The system is now proven completely failed, but who can change the law is who benefited from the law.

> In Japan, a party with over 10% of the vote is surveilled as a criminal organization

You may refer 調査対象団体 but I can't find the 10% criteria. JCP is the only national party listed on the list for historical reason. I never heard that JCP member had prosecuted by posting mails. Other organizations are really worth to be surveilled. I don't think this is why democracy in Japan is not good.
