the person who I was discussing this with has communism/USSR as a parallel.
The USSR argument is a bit old school, given that the Russians now have something resembling a vote for their leader, which is more than the EU leaders ever have to face. North Korea is allowed as a comparison, as it's a rigged vote, and possibly Afghanistan, as their elections will presumably be similarly rigged.
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

ummm, we had a vote for our leader back home under Communism as well- only we only had one choice to vote for :P
