I guess the thing I don't understand is as follows.
You can have a democratic election, where the majority of the people vote for a party. You have three branches of government and the winning party wins a majority in all three branches.
The party, before the election, lays out clearly their policy positions (cut spending, reduce fraud, etc), and then subsequent to winning the election gets started implementing their policies inline with their voter's intent.
And, supporters of the losing party say "this is dictatorship".
I don't understand how it's dictatorship.
It seems like democracy to me.
