It doesn't matter what government you choose. Nobody will ever have real control except the leader and democracy just turns everything into a clown fiesta because then nobody has any real power.
You're supposed to just keep killing people until somebody decent is in charge. Elections were an attempt to circumvent this but it obvious why this doesn't work. It doesn't work any other way because sociopaths and foreign agents exist that will always try harder and play dirtier than decent people to get to the top.
The question then becomes, how do you make it so that you don't need to kill many people to get somebody decent in charge, and to protect against sociopaths and foreign agents? You make a dedicated nobility born and bred to rule, who's a prisoner in a gilded cage, made to rule or else.
Also you make sure the government scope is as small as possible by killing more people when it starts to overreach.
Living a just and free life is pretty brutal but it's the only way to stop evil people form ruling over you making you into a slave.
