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.
