Sortition (election by lot):

https://link.springer.com/article/10...412-017-0054-3

Soon there will be those who, for a little fee, will take the burden of having been chosen by the lottery from your shoulders when you feel you lack the knoweldge to fulfill the tasks you had been choosen for, or have no time beside your work to act on your new obligations because else your family must face hunger or your business would go down the drain.

The main problem with bad politics is one that neither any political system nor random chance can solve. Beside some base knowledge at least, you need candidates with integrity, character and honesty - and even these can fail due to being too unfit right because of their "goodness" to face brutal realities.

No state. Thats the only model I can think of. The model to end all state models, that is. Can only be had if all people worldwide at the same time would send their own governments to hell. In other words: an utopia it is. All ideas I have heard so far about "contractual societies" voiced the correct diagnosis, but rendered unrealistic ideas on how to implement them. They could work once they are established. Establishing them in the first without getting wiped out by others - that is the trick and nobody so far is able to do it.
