anyway democratie like in my country doesnt work anymore gifted ones are scaling down their work pace or simply leave Don't know what country you're in but the USA is rapidly approaching this untenable situation. (At least) two Franklin quotes are relevant: - "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

Only people who pay get to vote. That is a primitive idea we did away with a long time ago.

Benevolent dictatorship?? How do you ensure they are benevolent??

Singapore where they routinely engage in torture and harsh penalties for nothing.

No thanks.

Democracy, is the worst form of government, except for all others.
