Theocracy would lead too much to abuse by the "wolves in sheep clothing", but it's better than being ruled directly by the sheep in a democracy. Wink A good oligarchy is the best government, unless a very talented dictator steps up. The problem with dictators is choosing a good successor to a charismatic leader.

Doesn't really sound too special to me. No political system does though. My take on politics is that none of the systems work, because humanity doesn't work in general. People always strive to make things better, but we're never going to make things as good as we would like, 'cause we're never ever fully satisfied, so sometimes I just don't see the point in trying. I'm feeling apathetic tonight.

1. A government ruled by or subject to religious authority.
2. A state so governed.

Now re-read the nonsense written in this thread and see if any of it makes any extra sense than it did before. I doubt it will  hihi

Sure, big time. I'll be influenced not to vote for them. I'm not in favour of any politician who attaches importance on any church, religion or something like that.

Tied-Up, I'd like my cup of earl Gray tea with plenty of milk  plz.
