THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
Precisely. But need not fear as they have control, most importantly by being in charge of the entire economy. But the economic demands are growing faster than they can keep up with. Therefore they need civilians to be motivated to manage politics and attract investment, while they secure things and let companies generate taxes, so they can be paid directly from increased defense spending, not indirectly from running military owned companies.
One way to transition is to mandate the political dynasties can be in charge of their parties but not allowed to run as candidates. Let competent professional politicians who work their way up from the localities earn spots in parties as they show good performance o the basis of a public platform of policies and get re-elected if they carry out those promises, within the budgets given. A professional body would also be necessary to set long financial policy of the nation and let the political leadership know what they are allowed to change, so they don’t shift financial policy just to win an election; short term political gain for long term economic cost.
The dynasties can set the ideologies of their parties and perhaps serve as the president if their party wins the majority in parliament, but other than that, the parties need to become professional so that the public can separate personalities from platforms and policies. (This is why I would hope IK comes out of prison and if his party is allowed to govern, he only becomes the president, allowing more professional people to run the government. And if those professional people fail to perform, they can be removed and it won’t cause a political crisis for the country. In this way supporters of other parties would know the party bosses only hold limited influence, and know the villain beautocratic institutions will run things nearly just the same regardless of party; ergo long term stability for living and for investing and for governance and rule of law.)
