I don't know. It seems from the poll that most of us think a monarchy the best. Can anyone say King George?

Eh, I don't know if the actual British King George was...it was a joke calling the current U.S. president a king. It's kinda like when Andrew Jackson was president. You know?

Extremes never work. Complete government control, communism, mean no one but the leaders will ever get anywhere and there is no reason to do anything if there is no reward. On the other hand anarchy, the absence of government, will not last long because to live in a society we must have order and to have order there must be someone to lead us. Also nothing will get done in chaos and we'll just go backwards.

So in a perfect society, with perfect people, a democracy or a republic (or combo) would work best so long as it balanced out taking care of the needs of the people and the needs of the state and still allowing independence and personal gain. Of course the world isn't perfect, so personal gain can end up being the main incentive for the government officials.

Different governing bodies work better for different organizations. Stop and reflect on what you want the government to do for you and what you want to be able to accomplish for yourself. How do you want to be lead or controlled?

I dislike Communisms for the same reasons.

My favourite government is a democracy, and our American government is great because no one person has full control since it's distributed through the 3 branches of government.
