> That's not the solution, that's the definition! A legislature passing laws is not authoritarianism, but is instead the normal functioning of a legislature in a representative democracy, whether or not one agrees with the laws themselves. From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism "1. Limited political pluralism, that is such regimes place constraints on political institutions and groups like legislatures, political parties and interest groups" Authoritarianism is, among other things, about the head of government constraining the legislature from performing oversight of the head of government. It's about the head of government being effectively above the law, either by the law itself being changed to codify that, or by the non enforcement of laws against the head of government when they break them.
