A lottery. Like jury service. Everyone in power is put there by a lottery. For a reasonably short length of time. No one can extend their stay in power, and once they've been chosen to serve in that capacity they can not be chosen a second time. Whilst in power they must be able to prove that the decisions that they make are for the good of the people.

A three branch government. One is a meritocracy branch where intelligent, skilled or highly educated people are voted into office. One is Military branch, where the valorous and honorable of the military are voted in to office, and one is the workers, the lay people who get things done are voted into office.
From those groups we pick three from each and have them be an executive council we could call it the Grey Council.

Sure until the warriors take an extra seat in the council, then it has to be reformed with 5 workers creating a socialist paradise.

Monarchy: my children's children's children's children will rule with an iron fist for millennia.

The perfect system of course, that needs constant refinement as social, industry and technology evolve without incentives such as money to motivate the population in working hard and anyone who disobeys is jailed. (þ:-«)
By the law every leader (dictator) cannot have any childs, same apply to any high-rank officials. The next dictator is chosen by previous one after 25 years - and as dictator the previous one is going to die by installed in his body kill switch that starts exactly after 25 years. Why? For Unicorns of course!

Dictatorship. Then as I end my selfless dedication to my citizens, I will change it to democracy. Yay.

Government by a council of proven merit. Basically my society would be heavily socialized. Eduction would not be a private affair. The government would stipulate what subject matter was fair game for a test or merit badge and it would be tested periodically to have it granted to citizens. Passing a test would put a mark on your record that would allow you to do certain things like apply for certain jobs or vote on certain decisions. But each achievement would have an expiry date so that new material could be factored into the tests and people would be forced to stay relatively up to date to keep their achievements. The control committee would consist of about 20 to 30 of the most highly decorated individuals in society ie the people whom have studied the most subject matter and understand best what is going on. From every angle. Their job is not to make big decisions but to decide whom is capable of understanding the decisions. They set a requirement in merit badges such that individuals in the society who have the qualification are allowed to vote on the issue and those who don't are not. It depends entirely on the issue of course and perhaps politics of some people might come into play but for the most part the goal is to limit voating to those who have proven they can understand the issue.
