        That is why it is technically a republic, but not in practice. The constitution says it is a republic, and they actually have an election for the role of head of state, well “election”, but of course in practice that is not how it works at all.

        The US is also technically a representative democracy, but in practice, well…

      It’s not just a Republic its a people’s Republic.

      So you know like way better. That’s why they don’t need elections it already says it belongs to the people

            Sorry you prefer to choose between bad and worse every election over reaching concensus in a constituent meeting and then voting to confirm the candidate in an election, but that doesn’t make the dprk’s system less democratic
