The characteristics of Japan’s party system has been one party system based on Liberal Democratic Party(LDP) since the end of World War Ⅱ,though the system has been changing itself since early 1990s. In Japan, the end of cold war has been promoting socio‐economic disparity, especially income inequality with deeping of globalization through the 1990s to 2000s and then Japan has experienced a large scale of strains in its socio‐economic aspect. Therefore, in Japan, two party system has been discussed politically and scholarly but one party system based on LDP has essencially sustained although it is a form of a coalition. In that sense, it is said that the party system of Japan has comparatively contributed to political stability since the end of War. This is not only the reason why Japan had experienced political violences and economic strikes less than other countries, but also in Japan political parties themselves at the parliamentary system have played a magnificant role of interest summing up and articulation of citizens and have eventually become a vent of their political discontents. It may be said that the above things —the characteristics of Japan’s party system and their roles or functions—could apply to the counterparts of Malaysia’s party system with multi‐ethnicity defferent from the social context of Japan too as we will discuss later. Similarly as we will concider afterward, a large scale of differences on electoral systems and ethnicity as social cleaverage exists between Japan and Malaysia, but there are following essencial question and analysis in this article, that is, some similarlities in the structures and function of party system exist between Malaysia and Japan. Therefore, this article will analyze Malaysia’s party system in comparison with the counterpart of Japan.
