> A democratically elected government of a state is at least answerable to its constituents who can boot them out if the government doesn't do the right thing.

How can constituents come to any informed opinion if a government appointed executive is summarily striking any public discussion on controversial topics? Seems completely antithetical to any semblance of a functional democracy.
