which country represents Democratic dictatorships?

Answer 1

What does that mean? Dictators are always re-elected with 99.99% of the vote. Some like Hitler are actually voted into office legitimately the first time.

Answer 2

A Democratic dictatorship is an oxymoron. There is no dictatorship in this world that is "democratic". Some may think they are, but they really aren't. All of them either supress opposition, or opress their minorities within their country. And there actually are no democracies in the world, they're Republics. Democracies are like Ancient Greece where all the townsfolk go and squabble--we don't do that do we? The people elect representatives to do that for them; hence a republic.

The only country that could even come close to what you ask, and that's just in name alone, is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea). They say they're Democratic, but they really aren't--they're considered to be Communist, and Kim Jong IL is definitely a dictator.


EDIT:
The United Kingdom is not a "Democratic Dictatorship", it's a Constitutional Monarchy, there's a difference and not just in name.

Answer 3

With the coming of George Walker Bush USA is the best example of a Democratic Dictatorship State.

Answer 4

The UK´s system is such in that the elections are decided by a very small number of swing voters (the overwhelming mjority voting the same way as they always do).

When the ruling party gains office, it can more or less do as it pleases provided it has a landslide majority. And that majority opf MPs need not represent majoity of the public.

But as no democratic system is a perfect reflection of the electorate so perhaps there is no great gain to changing the system.

Answer 5

In a way, our British Parliament is a Democratic Dictatorship.

Think about it, Parliament is the ultimate law making body in the country. A strong political aprty ,with tight discipline, can do whatever they please.

As one famous phrase goes 'Parliament could make men women, and make women men'

NB
Yes, i know my country is a Constitutional Monarchy, but did you actually read what i said? The Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has no powers that can be backed-up by law, our Parliament is completely sovereign. It has the power to do as it wishes. Being called somethign doesnt make it true, just look at the Peoples Republic...

Answer 6

No. There is no such thing, as lots of people have pointed out.

To KA K
I wish people would get their facts right about Hitler. The most the Nazis ever got was under 33% of the vote They came to power through a coalition with the Conservatives and the then president, Hindenburg allowed Hitler to form a government on his own. Sorry but I'm too lazy to look it up for you, so no sources.
