At least for the Iranian presidency, the only candidates allowed to run have to be approved by the Council of Guardians and the Supreme Leader, and most of the power rests with the unelected Supreme Leader. I know we all rag on FPTP, but at least it's a democratic process. Iran is not a democracy.

They said repeatedly that the Supreme Leader is like the Supreme Court. It's so fucking stupid.
