weird, but isn't that the reality, given the modern control of the media and the entertainment of politics etc, that elections have become the toys of governments and they can create rivalries to diffuse the public pressure and there is no real difference between majority and minority parties. but dictatorships don't have elections, they are under direct public pressure and have a serious sense of crisis. all policies of the ccp have to be in the long term interests of the majority, that's what gives them legitimacy.
