A PATTERN THAT I MISSED

I was writing a few weeks ago about patterns of dictatorship and Hezbollah: the demonstrrations, the cult of personality, the intelligence, the propaganda.

I missed this.

Nasrallah Re-elected as Hizbullah Chief
Hizbullah concluded its General Conference which lasted for several months in the making, and endorsed a new political doctrine, the second of its kind after the "open letter" in 1985.
Hizbullah issued a communique declaring that the party has endorsed "a number of organizational amendments that fit the new developing nature of its movement and path in the recent years on various aspects."

The communique also announced the election of the party's Shura Council members and their designations for the new term as follows: Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (Secretary-General), Sheikh Naim Qassem (Deputy Secretary-General), Sheikh Mohammed Yazbek (Head of Sharia Committee), Sayyed Ibrahim Amin al-Sayyed (Head of Political Bureau), Sayyed Hashim Safieddine (Head of Executive Council), Hussein Khalil (Secretary-General's Political Assistant), MP Mohammed Raad (Head of Loyalty to Resistance bloc).

The secretary-general will hold a press conference in the next few days to declare the new political doctrine, said Hizbullah's communique.

Why all these dictators get re-elected all the time? I've seen no democracy in this world where people elect the same man for more than two mandates at the leadership of a political party.
