Is it? ;-) Well, it depends on how you look at it. It doesn't have the obvious hallmarks of a dictatorship, such as paramilitary government security police all over the place, etc...no, life here is generally peaceful and not threatening.

On the other hand, a majority government (and even some minority governments) tend to act as if they were dictators until election time...meaning they do whatever they damn well want to, regardless what anyone thinks about it (and assuming it's legal).

I think your answer is a carefully qualified "no".
