The action isn't between political parties, it's the factions within the party. It's structured differently than the US so it looks strange that it's one party in power all the time, but there is plenty of push/pull for satisfying public opinion going on within the LDP. They have to _really_ screw up or ignore public opinion for a long time for the public to choose a different party.

Edit: come to think of it... can you imagine the leader of a political party choosing to step down due to popularity issues, allow a subordinate take the party in a new direction, and suddenly people are much happier with that party? seems oddly familiar. Imagine if the gov was structured in such a way that this is considered normal and then you basically understand why one party is always in power.

Usually Japanese leaders still get voted in before they get "revoted" by their congress as leader, PM. Your example of recent Kamala isnt that apt as she didnt get voted in as Democrat leadership, but selected by inner Dems cicle very much akin to that X-Files cancer man commitees majestic 12. Your example would be more correct if after this Nov, she won the election assuming no more luggage votes, machine recounts frauds happened again like 2020 (I doubt so, which means if she won, then your example still not correctly apply in this Japanese case). Anyway westerners are not that highly educated in politics other than American. So whatever explaination, I doubt he or she the audience can understand pretty much like describing blue to someone born blind.
