Its quite hard getting that many reactionaries though. And what conditions is it specifically to get "Presedential Dictatorship" or "Bourgeosie dictatorship"? I thought it just went back to absolute monarchy?
Requirements are the same for all the dictatorships (both from constitutional monarchies and democracy):
Ruling extremist party of the respective type - communist, fascist, anarcho-liberal or reactionary
Upper House : Ruling Party Only (this is the one you need to roll back 1st)
Vote Franchise: None
Political Parties: Only Underground
The problem is that VF: None is also a prerequisite for Absolute Monarchy, so sometimes you get that instead. You need to recycle back to constitutionalism then.
Facist dictatorship event doesn't check if you are a monarchy or not, and they would back any reform, so they are the best choice in this case, reactionary and anarcho-liberal dictatorship wouldn't even allow you to get non-party upper house so you can't go for democracy
Agree, fascists dictatorship is the one capable or reforming itself to a democracy easily in two years.
There are ways for any dictatorship to become a democracy peacefully. Note you need only 3 reforms to become a democracy from a dictatorship: UH: Appointed+, VF: Landed+, Parties: Harrasment+.
a) Any country with UH: Ruling Party Only eventually gets the event which changes it to UH: Appointed. You can usually continue reforms then.
b) Enacting or rolling back reforms fills your UH with conservatives even in a dictatorship. And conservatives can allow you the UH reform if your population militancy is high enough.
c) When you become a dictatorship you still keep your old UH composition until the end of the year. So you can possibly have 100% liberals there and again reform a lot.
