What are the disadvantages on Non-Democracy

Though there are many disadvantages, the foremost problem faced by a non-democratic country is the absence of civic involvement. The public would have no rights to elect their leaders. Since there is less involvement by the citizens; they are often offended by their lack of freedom and lack of involvement in the functioning of the government. This oppression would slowly pave way for insurgencies. This would in turn damage the financial growth of the country since such riots can discourage foreign investments. If the government is corrupt or is incompetent, a non-democratic country cannot function as people would take up armed revolution to change the government.

Democracy is, without an iota of doubt, the best form of governance devised by mankind. It reflects the true will of the people, especially if 'proportional representation' is adopted, as in some countries of Europe, instead of 'first past the post'.
All non-democratic forms of governance are virtually thrust on the people, be it monarchy, dictatorship or oligarchy. Rulers of these forms of governance adopt all means, fair and foul, to just remain in power, instead of having the people's interests uppermost in their minds. One other pitfall of these systems generally is the accretion of personal wealth of the rulers instead of creation of national wealth. Sometimes, non-democratic governments treat their subjects with cruelty, especially if popular movements take shape in voicing people's issues, opinions or complaints. Another problem is the centralisation of power, with only a few people taking all the decisions, instead of local issues being resolved at the grassroots level; this hampers decision making and even slows down the process.
