If we look at the history some countries got maximum development in Dictator ship while some got maximum development in democratic government. Every system has it's own flaws and benefits. What do you like ? if we talk about the welfare of general people.
It's about the motive of the ruler.
And Dictatorship or democracy is just a disguise.
No one can run a country without popular support from its citizens.
The parliamentary democratic system is so corrupt that no good person can rise to the top.
I remembered way back 1960's if I'm not mistaken the President of our country was implementing dictatorship, but even is like that he did so many things to our country and even up to now all He did was being used by His citizens nationwide, and He is so very intelligent and wise. But after He gone on His position the one who took his position was replaced by the leader who implemented democracy then after it happened the situation of our country's economy became doomed to all citizens. But now the president was really good and had the same characteristic of our former dictator President before in 1960's.
