What is the Perfect Form of Government?

[Sociobiology]

at OP
there isn't one

the best we have seen however is a mixed economy, pluralistic, representative democracy.

[Belique]

No way, we would destroy ourselves and civilization.

And we aren't doing that now?

So true, therefore we need a strong leader, the divine right, a streamlined government, and the education of the Dauphin/Crown Prince/Heir Apparent from birth. You can get all of these with an Absolute Monarchy!

A new age of summer is already upon us. There is no way to stop it.

[Dangelia]

I say, the best government is a semi-socialist semi-federal executive constitutional monarchy.

Been here for almost five years. I'm aware.

Totalitarian Theocracy. I made it up and it is the perfect form of government.

[Zebulor]

How about an authoritarian democracy in which all districts and their boundaries are determined by long-standing tradition, making gerrymandering impossible?

You didn't make it up and we know that is always atrocious

I prefer to interpret it as a hyperbole rather than wanting a literally perfect government, which is of course absurd. Since perfection is a completely artificial concept and we would have no objective way of knowing we are in its presence even if it shat in our mouths and pissed in our eyes.

A perfect mixture of Marxism and Capitalist Democracy.

It is irrelevant how it is taken when "authoritarian" is in the answer.

Ah you are one of those folks. Ok.

None. All forms of government have flaws.

And the National Razor for when that inevitably doesn't work out.

This is no time for decrees by crazy Tsars.

I'd like to demand a change in the thread title. Mostly because it and the poll question imply two very different things.

Let me just tell you that I am increasingly finding the French Revolution fascinating. We should all emulate it by not wearing socks or hose.

No it's not.

I actually LOVE the Tsars!

Wouldn't work.

No it's not.

Yes, they do.

Perfect implies different things from best. Perfect means no flaws while best usually means that flaws are at a minimal.

Close enough, it wouldn't really matter, as nothing is perfect besides Jesus Christ. I just wish everyone could think beyond a small error and get on with the topic. Don't be a stick-in-the-mud and technical.
