That's an oligarchy, however JasonL is referring to aristocracy - 'rule of the best'. The biggest problem with aristocracy is that the word has been co-opted by warlords ( whose offspring are touring BC at the moment ) who are far from the best suited to rule. I think it would be interesting to come up with a set of qualifications for a city councilor. If we're going to fix our political systems - large and small - I'd rather start with small.

BTW, aristocracy is already in place to a large degree at the federal level. You don't go from working at Tim's to being Minister of Finance.
