Meritocracy
Meritocracy a system of government based on rule by ability rather than by wealth or social position.

I'll happily allow a smarter person than me to make a decision. So, how about using a person's IQ as scaling factor for their vote in elections? This would make a smart person's vote more powerful than a less smart person.

I wonder how it work out in a real election: c.f. Average IQ of each US state and how that state voted. is a hoax

What's even more scary is...

...that you must be pulling up the average!
