Where could I find a list of terrible tyrants that came to power in a representative democratic system? That ought to be interesting.

Or are you saying that all systems with parties are abominable because of parties, regardless of the details of how the systems work?

Off the top of my head: Sulla, Cromwell, Robespierre, Napolean, Hitler, Mugabe. There are many more, but I'd have to verify.

Well, that list mostly goes:

1. Hitler

2. A few others

But, y'know, Hitler counts for something.
