In Russia, they have only 1 party left, so the party clearly doesn’t matter. In Usa, it is not an official dictator yet. In other countries with a dictatorship, I don’t know about their parties. So do you know any examples where the parties still matter?

    Not exactly a dictatorship, but for example Thailand is a pretty successful and benevolent Monarchy where besides not being allowed to talk badly about the king, people are free.

      That’s a constitutional monarchy, with added censorship. The UK was like that 100ish years ago. Now treasonous talk is tolerated

      Since no country is perfect, what happen if a person critisize the king for a bad policy?

        Thailand has some of the strictest laws of this kind.

        Typically you’re looking at serious jail time if found guilty.

        I haven’t looked into the details, but it’s more like you can’t criticise the Monarchy, but you can criticise the government, policies and laws. But you can’t incite violence or unrest even online, and cannot demafe government officials. From talking with Thais, this is ok, although they are obviously never too confrotavke speaking openly about it.
