While not uncitical of Orban- no I’m not one of his fans- I don’t think he’s in the same category as someone like Erdogan.

John, I appreciate you reading and for the comment! Classifying these leaders can be subjective, but they all stood out as general examples of recent leaders seeking to consolidate power.

You failed to mention the most prominent example of majoritarianism. India under Modi is experimenting and implementing that for last 10 years.

Quaid, thanks for reading and for the comment! Yeah, Modi is definitely another example. Erdogan stood out to me because of the national referendum for the constitutional changes.
