Of course it means it is not a democracy. When you can vote only for
one party, and the people cannot change the president/king, it is
not a democracy. In Israel, the ruling party was kicked out a month
and a half ago. Ever see that happen in Iraq, Syria, Iran, Saudi-Arabia?
The only way these countries can - and have - experienced change
of a ruler is by a military coupe.
