But when a system repress any other dissenting point of view and people are place in prison or even executed for having different solutions to problems in society than the ones impose by a government it makes it impossible for me to call that a democracy. A one party system is a sure road to this state of affairs. I have experience both system and there is a big difference with regards to freedom on both therefore that is why I do like better the western style of democracy where each can have different solutions or opinions about each problem and not the "Cuban style democracy". In all honesty we should not called democracy since what gets done in a system like that is what the top hierarchy of the communist party wants. That is the ruling class and nobody else have a say in that. Tega

Further I believe one party system can provide strong and good democratic governance with time, howevr those countries that has been unsuccessful in the pratice of one party system are just emerging from extreme communism. must democracy be of western standards and values? the American took Montesque recommedation of democracy, as you know the french adopted a diffrent ideology, and yes the British are diffrent. here I ask again if the Americans and the Brits had practiced one party system in the past hundred years would you be complaining or attacking one party system.
