            Came here to say the same thing.

            The UK is also a "soft" one-party state and therefore the Tories are kinda big tent. Therefore Conservatives will legalize gay marriage or even compete with Labour in Wales for building low carbon housing.

          Yeah, working conditions in Japan are/were just that fucked up. The country literally can't maintain it's population and the conditions of the average worker are a big part of that problem.
