THIS HOUSE BELIEVE THAT STRONG DISTRACTORSHIP IS BETTER THAN WEAK DEMOCRACY

Government :

That is right a strong distractorship is better. Why? Because dictatorhip has more stability and less chance to corruption. It will be easily and quick if its under one command. The country also has more development in sociability, economy and etc. Dictatorship is very eficient, because if there are problems the dictator will take action quickly and without long discuss with the other, they dont spend their time with discuss dont like democrasy they must  have long discuss without action, it makes the people satiesfied.

The dictator is prominent strengthen unity and solidarity. So the people more trust with dictator, they think it will easy to developing their country if they trust, because  the dictator has big nationality.And do not make confusing if under one command. For example in our country when under leadership Mr. Soeharto there are many development  in our country  like: economy, etc. Then in China also.

Opposition :

before tell you about advantages of democracy system, I want to remind you about definition of dictatorship. Dictatorship is a government or a social situation where one person makes all the rules and decisions without input from anyone else (include citizen). So the other people have no right to make decision?? It is like discriminacy. Its different with democracy it means the government of the people, by people, for people. So the government must work to people as representative of the people, and the people have a right to choose their representative(DPR, PRESIDENT,Etc). Freedom is needed for the people. They have right to give opinion, show their expresion, make decisions, etc. If in dictratatorship you will loss freedom. Dictatorship identic with crime if we don't trust to dictator we will get punishment. It make difficult for people who want to express them self. Dictatorship also identic with tyranny, otoryter, oppression, even reign of terror for example: although under leadership president Soeharto there are many development but the people loss their freedom, they also affraid to do anything because they will get punishment thats so different with nowdays. But if live in democracy we will find freedom, equality, and justice. Even a weak democracy still has all these positive things.
