I would like to start by mentioning the food security bill that was recently passed rather hurriedly by

the government. It is a classic example of what is wrong with a chaotic democracy. It is a populist
regime. You are given 5 years within which you have to prove to the public that you deserve to be in
power. So necessarily the government is not even going to make an effort to make long term
development. Pleasing the public right now is the ultimate goal. And god forbid you do take a long
term decision like Margret Thatcher did by privatising public sector enterprises in UK the public
being the final stupid authority you'll be thrown out in the next election even before the effects of
your policy start showing. It is almost impossible to make the right decisions in a democracy
because people will never understand that they are right.
This glitch gets eliminated in a benevolent dictatorship. You select a sane man and give him the
power to make every decision for the country for the coming 20 years. This gives him the time and
peace of mind required to actually plan and more importantly EXECUTE a developmental model
which can never be done in a democracy because you're out even before you start executing it. Do
you stop chemotherapy because it makes you feel horrible? Obviously not! But in a democracy you
do stop because the patient is considered to be more intelligent than the doctor.
The convoluted governmental systems in a democracy are another aspect to be considered.
Judiciary, Legislature and Executive are so delicately intertwined that its almost impossible for each
organ to perform a function without it overlapping with the other one. Every law, judgement and
implementation takes forever to come and in the face of a crisis this delicate structure all but
collapses. This is apparent in the Democratic Republic of Congo infamous as the rape capital of
the world. Malnourishment, Crime rate at an all time high, uncontrollable horrifying communal
violence is what the unconditional love for democracy entails. With a dictator stepping in and
making a final statement overruling all the menial matters the crisis can be tackled efficiently. Long
boardroom discussions are not going to reduce the rapes but publicly executing a rapist is.
Sometimes it is necessary to overlook the consequences and act spontaneously which a dictator can
do without fearing for his life.
A chaotic democracy is also characterised by political ignorance and a democracy without political
education is not a democracy at all for it means you're giving power in in hands of people who don't
qualify for it. Systems like adult franchise add to this problem. Adult Franchise basically means that
Arnab Goswamis vote and his driver has the same value. If that is equality, then isn't it wrong?
However if I go to Arnab Goswami and tell him to vote between two medicines for headaches he's
going to choose the one which is better advertised and not the one that is chemically better because
he believes the fancy advert. The same thing happens when political parties advertise themselves
and a layman votes based on these achievement based hyperbolic adverts. If you are going to
influence a persons decision, what's the point of calling it a democracy at all?
Lastly I would say that in an idealistic situation any form of government would work equally well
but its time we accept we do not live in utopia and agree that desperate times demand desperate
measure and that includes shaking our fear of an authoritarian dictator and looking forward to a
revolutionary leader like Mustafa Kemal Ataurk of Turkey or Tito of Yugoslavia.
Thank you!
(OPTIONAL)The next big question is of the rampant corruption that will be apparent in a chaotic
democracy. A benevolent dictatorship on the contrary will not face this problem because corruption
is primarily a problem that takes root in the uncertain nature of the jobs that democracy has to offer.
Brunei a country that has practises Islamic democracy is completely free of corruption. Why?

Because the king of Brunei never has the be worried that I won't be the king tomorrow, that I will be
pushed to the streets. Established and age old democracies like Canada have this problem of no job
security. The moment you're out of the post you aren't entitled to any of the amenities you're
accustomed to for the last 4 years.
