Searching for a perfect form of goverment. Is like searching for the perfect person. They do not exist. Nor ever will. As with all forms of power. It is the person least wanting to do the job, that will do a good job.

The problem of democracy is two fold. One it is supposed to be majorijty rule. Well we all now that is not the case. Now days of about 50% of the people able to vote do so. So the winning party is always a minority party. Anyone that says, yeah well they could have voted. It would have made a difference. The majorijty of the people that do not vote. Are being excluded from the economic society. So it makes no difference to them who they vote for. Vote for devil one or two, please!
Two, the nature of democracy. Is short term economic society change. So the powers that be, never will tackle the big problems.

I think the best form of goverment, would be:

Unanimousisam.

No polictical parties. Only people who think they could make a difference. There would be a step by step process. Anyone who put themselves foward for power. Would have to sart at the bottem rung. Lets say local council. Then mayor, chief whip, transport minstor, leader of the county.

The voting process would also be different. A fom of proportional representation, where the poeple who do not vote. Get counted against every runner in the vote. The winner must have, lets say 60% of the voters behind him to get the job. By doing this you make sure that the person who gets voted in. Has enough of the mandate of the people. Also that everyone thought he was a good candidate. How many times have we thought that the candidates where all a waste of time. Look at the less of two evils in the USA. G. Bush, please give me a break. Even the Americans think he is an idiot. An idiot running the most powerful, most armed nation in the world. If this is the best democracy has to offer. Then it is bunk.

The tender for people in power would be say 10 years. To give them enough time to think about the long term. But to stop power going to there head. There direct collegues could vote him out. At the 60% margin mentioned. To make sure that there where no crack pots. Running around, demadning that we wear underpants on our heads on tuesdaus amd thursdays.


What goes 'up', must come 'down', unless it goes around and round.
