First, democracy has almost no chance of selecting the best leader—at best, it could help select a better one out of a limited set of options.

So what system selects the best leader out of the entire population?

  None—as Churchill said, democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. Still, should be realistic when explaining the benefits.

  Why do you believe such a system could even exist in the first place?

    I don’t. i think it’s weird to condemn democracy for failing to select the best leader out of the entire population, when all the alternatives are even worse.
