    The top down nature of the authoritarian system allows corruption to flourish at all levels. One cannot pick and choose what parts are true Scotsmen.

      You’re not wrong.
      But it’s looking like the alternatives are also fertile ground for corruption, so this doesn’t really render an effective criticism.

      I don’t like a 1-party system. I’d like a 0-party system, but I suspect in practice it’d either behave like a 1 party system or a typical western partisan system where people form voting blocks.
