As a leader hoping it is certain that you place there was not to molest the people, so most decision taken without the consent of the people is seen as beneficial in the future. Even in democracy most decisions are made without seeking consent because a leader is supposed to know what to do at the right time, it is he or her government and if nothing is done far the discredit will be on him, though they are different government, I would prefer democracy with a pinch of dictatorship pattern.
