Go away with your bogus eternal two party system and deep state. Assad ist elected, deal with it or eat shit. He is in his first of two terms.
Two parties? Boy are You dumb.
Tell me how many parties are in average in any civilized country and compare that to Syria.
Then tell me how many consecutive years is a term in average...40+...18?!
You won't dumb me down to Your level.
You have a two party system, no matter how many parties exist. People are manipulated to that effect that they either vote democrat or republican. There is no hope that there will ever be changes. There also parties in Syria btw.
4? You're a joke.
Your magnificent leader has to "clean the pipes" each new decade of his "1st term".
And all You've got is babbling about western democracies.

And I already explained the terms to you, so you prove your memory is just failing:

Politics in the
Syrian Arab Republic takes place in the framework of a
semi-presidential republic with
multiparty representation. President
Bashar al-Assad's family and his
Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party have remained dominant forces in the country's politics since a
1970 coup.
[1][2]
Until the early stages of the
Syrian uprising, the president had broad and unchecked
decree authority under a long-standing
state of emergency. The end of this emergency was a key demand of the uprising, and decrees are now subject to approval by the
People's Council, the country's legislature.
[3] The Ba'ath Party is Syria's ruling party and the previous Syrian constitution of 1973 stated that "the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party leads society and the state."
