Indeed, a number of countries have the forms of democracy, but the reality of dictatorship. Without doubt there is a vital difference between democracy and dictatorship, however, it varies from one country to another. Notably, the Civil Service must be efficient and must render equally, good service without strings of partisanship, for the people to be reassured that they government they elected will carry out their wishes and at the same time fulfill promises made. Also rules and regulations exist to protect Civil Servants from the least suspicion of political bias;they are not allowed to present themselves for elective positions or partake in political activities.
