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.
Democracy is quite cool because the government of a country lies beyond it's people. But, due to too much freedom and voices heard, there comes a time where a country loses it's focus, thereby failing due to it's people. This may be the reason why, there are times when I prefer dictatorship because here people will only listen to one person, thus having order.
