Kim Jong- Un has the ultimate power, and uses things like propaganda and lack of education of the people to his advantage to stay in power. Next, there is five popular parties in Switzerland that the citizens can vote for, but in North Korea, there is false political parties, and the people don't have a true vote whether the dictator is in power or not. Another difference is that if the citizens doesn't like a law or proposition, they can vote and decline it from happening. In North Korea, the population doesn't have a choice and are forced to follow the dictatorships no matter what.
