Totalitarian Dictatorship

Saudi Araba is a unitary, islamic, absolute monarchy but is called a totalitarian dictatorship. It should be called: Unitary totalitarian absolute monarchy. Monarchies and dictatorships are the same: autocracies. Please explain this to me, how is Saudi Arabia "totalitarian"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.188.240.222 (talk) 19:29, 21 January 2020 (UTC) SharabSalam answer please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.188.240.222 (talk) 00:57, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know why you are calling me. I am not the one who added it. There is a comment above which says that the infobox section was removed here, meaning that totalitarian is has been there for a long time. The section was "Unitary Islamic totalitarian[1][2] absolute monarchy."
The dictatorship seems to be added recently. I reverted one person who removed the section without explaining. I also think that what the government says about itself is irrelevant and not reliable.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 01:16, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TBH an absolute monarchy is essentially a hereditary dictatorship, that's why the word monarchy was used to describe a lot of ancient kingdoms (because "monarchy" meant dictatorship back then"), so, Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy. 190.141.88.36 (talk) 00:18, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Evolution of Saudi Arabia with respect to Women and art of Drifting (Sport)

Evolution of Saudi Arabia with respect to Women:- In the past 3 years, there has been an improvisation in law in order to allow the need for women to drive as well. Before 2017, women weren't allowed but now things have changed and improvised, thereby allowing women empowerment. Saudi Arabia has improvised their norms to equality among men and women thereby providing the right to authorities such as driving.

Sport:- The art of drifting is a spectacular sport performed by the very locals of Saudi Arabia, which is performed on the sand dunes respectively. This stunt is an attractive stunt but equally dangerous and should be performed by experts only. Drifting is banned in Saudi Arabia due to the high death rates caused due to this act.

In one of the images in Legal System its states "Saudi Arabia is unique in enshrining a religious text as a political document". However KSA is no unique in this as all the other gulf nations also do this. For example Bahrain also has a similar legal system. ----Qayrawan (talk) 15:59, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Legislature

The article says that saudi arabia’s legislature is none, this is completely false, it’s Legislature system is consultative assembly, same to all it’s gulf neighbours Aziz bader (talk) 01:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, as explained in the article the consultative assembly is not a legislature because it has no legislative power. The only legislative authority in Saudi Arabia is the king. DeCausa (talk) 09:06, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Aziz bader, talk is right about the Majlis-Al-Shura acting as a consultative assembly with no legislative authority. The King of Saudi Arabia is the sole legislative, executive and judicial authority in the Absolute Kingdom. 190.141.88.36 (talk) 00:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
