Democracy.

One-person domination is undesirable in principle in a #democracy and it is fortunate that it is only rarely achieved in practice, whatever the leader’s pretensions....It is not altogether surprising that leaders should fall prey to arrogance and to seeing themselves as being above the party that elevated them to its leadership. What is more astonishing is that so many of the rest of us should undervalue collegial and collective decision-making. Party leaders and prime ministers were not chosen because they were deemed to have a monopoly of wisdom. It is time we stopped worshipping the false god of the strong individual leader.
