Just keep voting for different parties/people. It's when they're able to say "I'll be in power for a long time" that the upper echelons and the army start backing their person rather than the people. Oh, and avoid having loop holes in the constitution.

I doubt that that was constitutional, but maybe it was, after all they got in power legally in 1933.

On 10 April 1938, 1,978 voters (including 806 Austrians) were ferried from Tilbury, east of London.
