I like this Idea, I think a government based on skill instead of numbers would be a very interesting prospect.
Any thoughts?
A government based on skill instead of number is a form of government in which individuals are chosen for positions of power based on their skills, qualifications, and merit rather than by popular vote or majority rule.
A government based on skill instead of number allows for more qualified and competent individuals to hold positions of power, leading to more effective and efficient governance. It also minimizes the influence of political parties and special interest groups in the selection process.
A government based on skill instead of number differs from a democracy in that it focuses on individual merit rather than popular vote. In a democracy, the majority of votes determines the outcome, while in a skill-based government, qualifications and capabilities are the primary factors in decision-making.
One potential challenge is ensuring a fair and unbiased selection process, as it may be difficult to eliminate personal biases and favoritism. Another challenge is determining which specific skills and qualifications are necessary for each position of power, as this can be subjective and controversial.
Yes, there are some countries that have elements of a skill-based government, such as Singapore and Switzerland. However, there is no single country that fully operates on this form of government. It is often used in combination with other forms of government, such as a representative democracy.
