    Of course. I am not going to defend the particular choice in that figure. However. Democracy is greater than just democratic election. Fascists in Germany also come to power in a free democratic election, does not make Nazi Germany a democratic country.

      The nazis in Germany came to power in the “Machtergreifung” (seizure of power).
      In the last free democratic election, they got 33% of the vote.

        Yes, but it was by far the largest (the second party got just 20%) and in multiparty system that was enough to later enact laws that made it into dictatorship.
