The thing is, dictators get things done. (Discuss!)

I've long thought that we either need a benign dictatorship (a good king?) or a responsible anarchy. However, only one of these will actually achieve anything.

Yeah the majority of politicians are toffs who were raised with a silver spoon up their bum hole and have no idea how the average person actually lives, it's a joke!

He's an amateur when it comes to political spin on petty items that will capture the attention of the international press.

(ps I don't think that's a decent reason to change your time zone - as said in the article, it will make commerce in the kaessong industrial zone more difficult - on which north Korea is heavily reliant for income) But as the point it... Where does rationality/common sense come into any of it.
