My ideal political system is a mearchy. It's very similar to an anarchy, except that it includes a 0.01% sales tax. Proceeds shall go towards maintaining my château. (obviously, in your mearchy, you get the château). I realise, of course, that isn't likely to happen, which again makes it very similar to anarchism. It also shouldn't happen, because stealing is wrong.. But it is *so* much more enjoyable to think about than actual politics. Or how about we nominate a cat for office? Not only would he or she do a better job and be an attractive head of state, but he or she would leave hairballs all over the oval office carpet. That would have won my vote. The campaign slogan: “The only candidate qualified to rule you.”
