I, personally, would love to see proportional representation on the voting books. It seems far more fair and gives less chance to autocracy. The pity of it all being that while we preach democracy to the world the actual cabinet system does indeed seem more autocratic of late. I see nothing wrong with having a strong leader but when they virtually get rid of any opposition to their own closed views we have dangerous precedents being set.

Is autocracy needed in a democracy or is it step closer to the dictatorships that democracy is meant to stop happening?

We keep seeing civil liberties being eroded all the time. That, too, is dangerously close to heading toward a direction many have given their lives to free us from
