What's So Great About Two-Party System?

This AP article questions whether the LDP's big win will help or hurt the Japanese political system.

My question is, in this age of globalization, where countries are competing against each other, do governments need internal competition to make them effective?

Can governments like Singapore's and China's and Japan's reform themselves so that their societies improve and citizens are more prosperous because it is in their self-interest, without pressure from a strong opposition party?
