True and the fact that a lot more far left/right candidates are emerging only suggests that under democracy, previous leaders of a more conventional nature failed to satisfy the people. One can not complain about the rise of Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders (who probably came closer than the polls suggest) when there are many people out there that believe that they offer a better solution, their rise could have been prevented by existing politicians doing a better job beforehand.

Dictators tend not to be held so accountable, until all hell breaks loose and they face a revolution.
