The fact is you want a leader who can be respected and loved, and Sasuke just isn't that guy. It's not that I believe Sasuke's totally wrong, as I feel smart, capable, benevolent dictators are a better system than any true democracy, but when the vast majority of people despise the leader, it's doomed to fail.
Not to make this too political, but Democracy only works if the voters are smart and knowledgeable in regards to the system at hand. I mean if you look at proposed Democracies in the middle east, you can see they're failing because the people just aren't smart and knowledgeable and understanding and willing to put in a good leader. The reason we have representative democracies as supposed to true democracies is we vote for people who are smart and capable and knowledgeable etc. about the issues at hand, and make the votes for us. Plus, if every single person voted, we'd be spending 60% of our lives in the voting booth, so it helps in that regard as well.
I really only have two main issues with Sasuke's plan. The first is that he wants the world to hate him. That's a stupid ****ing idea and will just lead to disaster. And the second is that, as I said before, it's Sasuke who wants this A criminal mass murderer who is totally blind to reality and is so extreme and rigid in his views. Personlaly, I wish Sasuke could just die. If it were just Naruto leading, while I'd have some issues, there'd be work around. As I've said before, Naruto's views and ideals are garbage, but Sasuke's are just so much worse, so if I had to pick my poison, I'd choose Naruto every time.
Sasuke burnt his bridges a long time ago, he has zero right to have any sort of leadership position. But knowing Naruto, he'd forgive him anyway, and probably end up calling him the second coolest, after Obito. I mean the manga has turned into a total failure, it's just so unrealistic and unbelievable and just totally undesirable in regards to the future, that I don't care as much anymore, but if I were put into a voting booth and had to choose which person I'd pick to be hokage, I'd choose Naruto each and every time. Hell, many of the people who were on the Sasuke bandwagon are now hopping sides, as they realize how ****ing ridiculous Sasuke's plan is. Only the major Sasuke fanboys are sticing with him over Naruto, that and whiny angsty emo teenagers who can relate to Sasuke.
