If Leaders Try to "Broaden" Their Dictatorship by Institutionalizing It

If leaders try to "broaden" their dictatorship by institutionalizing it (with a legislature, elections, political parties, and so on) , does it follow that their regime will be more stable?

A) Yes; institutionalization always helps the stability and survival of dictatorships.
B) No, not necessarily; it will depend on the strength of the opposition (institutionalization will help stabilize a regime when the opposition is weak, but will destabilize it if the opposition is strong) .
