2. Though i especially would like for you to explain to me how it isnt a dictatorship, because Putin just keeps swapping between the president and prime minister positions to stay in power. I would like to see you say he doesnt have control over the powers of both those positions. I will copy this post and post it on the other thread if its more confortable for you. I am most interested in hearing your version of the story. :) |
1. LOL. First rule: stop believing in propaganda. From which side is of no importance. Read news from all over the world and try to match the complete different pictures they paint of events.
2. That is critcism to the democracy? He did that, because the russian constitution doesn't allow to stay president forever. I'm from germany, our constitution doesn't forbid such things. People can stay chancellor as long as they want and are elected. And some were chancellor a long time: Adenauer, Kohl. Are we a better or worse democracy? At least the russian constitution tried to avoid that. More to the point: in china the government is exchanged on a regular schedule. Are they in your opinion the better democracy because of that?
