Saying that a dictatorship is better than a democracy makes me sick. Today in my country it's been 43 years since the last dictatorship where they actually kidnapped and murdered people just because they thought different than them. Democracy may not be perfect, just like any other political system, but it's way better than a dictatorship for sure.

Dictatorships usually rest on an ideological foundation of some idea of popular sovereignty, i.e. democracy.

The true and good form of government is monarchy.

Democracy in western implementations = idiocracy

The least worst implementation right now is switzerland's democracy

Yeah, people like Charles II of Spain are clearly the best qualified to lead a society.

Or imagine a huge tragedy in British monarchy and young Prince Harry being king.

Plus your average monarchy had a succession crisis every century, so imagine all the fun we could have with wars.

I dont vote because I dont want to support a flawed system in any way or form.

simply put- no better alternatives currently exist
How much time and effort have you spent researching the subject?
I am sure that there are better alternatives, and there should be public discussion about implementing these alternatives.
Or even just slight improvements to the current system.
Instead of the current situation where nothing ever changes.

You don't vote for a flawed system to make it more flawed because you don't like that it is flawed.

Much logic.
So wow.
