If the system would favour the LDP, why haven't they won the last election or at least a share of seats overproportional to their share of votes?
In 2009 they got almost 72% of DPJ's votes but received just slightly over a third of DPJ's number of seats.
What you are grumbling about is that the electoral system favour's whoever get's a plurality of votes, but that's the case in roughly half of all democracies of the world.
