Same with dictators the world over.

Terrified of losing power because of the retribution that comes with it.

The problem with not having deep institutions is that losing your grip on power tends to get you killed. I would argue that the terror is very rational rather than pathological.
 
And people moan about politics in this country.

Believe me it could be alot worse - try live in Russia... or China... or North Korea.... or most of Africa/Middle East.

Dont know how kin lucky you are.

I get it mate, it's all about not being last, not being the worst at something. Feck being good, pursuing excellence and fighting regression, just make sure one's not the bottom of the pile so we can look down on something.

I think having to look to North Korea for a country to favourably compare yourself to is a giant slip in standards imo

Maybe by constantly exercising our ability to hold our leaders to account without fear of reprisals we can make sure we never are in that situation.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
 
This is straight out of the 1930's playbook. Obviously felt the winds of change happening in Belarus and thought he'd stamp that one out before it even starts. Sorry to say but the Russian people should hang their heads in shame for allowing this to happen. Having a leader cling on to power does not improve quality of life, you need constant renewal to get new ideas and the genuine will to help people.

It needs a massive uprising to throw him out of office.

Some people approve of the politics in this country.

Believe me, it could be a lot better - try living in Australia, or New Zealand, or Canada, or most of Europe
