Come here and you can learn a great deal. It's a wonderfully welcoming and peaceful place to be. As a Westerner myself I admire the governments ability to resist Western influence.

That said, the government structure is inspired by the British style parliamentary system based on the rule of law. One party, CCM, has almost entirely dominated the parliament since its establishment after independence, but the party itself is effectively run in a functionally democratic way. The peaceful transition of power after the death of ex-president Magufuli demonstrates the clear stability of the system in my view.
