Leaders with a mandate are not necessarily a bad thing. With countries as with humans in small groups, it can sometimes prevent squabbling if there is one person who’s authorized to settle disputes.
However, just as with individual humans, when the consent of the governed goes away, it can start to become something really bad.
Why do we need just one? Fuck that.
Yeah, europe with it’s differences is way more robust than some super power controlled by only one person (a Clinton, or a Bush, or a orange thing)
