      Russia and China still have ruling parties even if their head has almost complete control. If Putin or Xi were removed, it would be through the party selecting someone else. North Korea is basically a monarchy.

        I mean that’s how most states with a parliamentary system work, if Keir Starmer were removed, it would be through the ruling party selecting someone else too.
