A good type of government is one which simply does not exist. Politicians think that we have one but they are in it for the backhanders and the single minded prosperity it brings them by duplicitous actions. A Government should be fair to the original format of Government, Protection of the state, individuals and to legal contracts. It should be fair on what it takes and not constantly strangling its populations for more money when it wrongly spends it current income and then cant balance its books. It should provide assistance when people need assistance and show tolerance and understanding with individuals who have a tougher life than those who live on the other side of the street. Simply saying democratically elected governments is not enough, democracies are proving to be corrupt and slowly moving to loose dictatorships, and we need to remove these people before this happens. Remember that 9/11 is not about the muslim people against the american people, its about governments who want to get involved in other affairs of other countries. Now what do you think is a good government?

What? I'm betting you have no idea what happens to the populations of democratic forms of government. Democracies lead to incredible abuses of power.
The best form, seriously, is the kind we used to have. One that, at one time, was controlled by the people as a whole. Not by special interests, lawyers, or a political activist judiciary. I'm not sure where the Republic went, but son, you need to get some world history if you think a Democratic form of government is the best.

In my opinion, a republic is the best form of government. However, having said that, I think that the public at large needs to have a sense of ownership over their government, which is a big problem in the US right now.
If I were to set up my ideal national government, it would be a confederacy of states, with a republic governing each state and a central national republic with (limited) authority over the states. Officials would be elected by the people, but the "right" to vote would only be given to those who volunteered to serve the nation for a brief period (probably four years) in any capacity. Politicians would be likewise restricted. The kicker would be, when you volunteer to serve, you don't get to choose which branch of government in which you serve; you would be assigned a job based on your aptitudes and skills, and the needs of the nation. This means you could be assigned as anything such as a postal worker, fireman, policeman, administrator, researcher, soldier, etc. Once you complete your term of service, you can participate in the government, be it voting or running for political office.
The reason I believe this would work better than our current system is because it would remove all the people from the equation who care only for themselves. It takes a certain quality of character to volunteer to serve your nation (and I don't mean for the college money...get rid of all those incentives). People who volunteer to serve feel a sense of responsibility toward people they have never met, outside their family group or circle of acquaintances, which most of us do not feel. Such people would make more responsible decisions regarding government.

A government that is able to balance capitalist interests with democratic and pluralistic interests ... that ensures that people who do not do well under capitalism also have opportunities and if they are unable to provide for themselves (due to age or disability), that they are provided a sufficient income to survive and have some semblance of a quality of life ... none of this paying for a roof over one's head or food on the table, like we do in Canada ... which, believe it or not, costs the country a lot more money to maintain than having a better social base.

I'm afraid no government is good government. Power corrupts. If a dictator has power, he will become corrupted. If the President has power, he will become corrupted. If the masses have power, they will become corrupted. The best solution is to have no government at all.
Many people are afraid of this situation, but there is no need to be. Governments have caused more death and destruction than all the little petty criminals of the world combined. A world without government would be more peaceful, more prosperous, and generally more pleasant.

The smallest one possible to protect individual liberties. Contrary to popular belief, the greatness of this country is not in its Repuplican structure, but in the constitutional protections for liberties.
