My ideal political system: a meritocracy

SDF — 5/17/2006 4:20:24 PM (archived)

To date, politics has always been based on popularity, wealth, or military power. I think a meritocracy would be better, while still retaining constitution, and other laws to prevent discrimination on the basis of things people can't change.
