    So practically a ritual. What’s the point of voting if there is only one candidate? Rhetorical question

      The point is to pretend to the world that you are a democracy.

      There are multiple candidates, but if elections are held in a one party state, they all belong to the same party or a party that is effectively under the dominating party’s control.
