I propose a new form of government. I call it "liberal democracy". The gist is that when liberals are in power they make sure that fascist never get in power again. (So it's not a democracy, only in name.) E.g. they can make fascism illegal, and don't allow them to run for seats. This has the following advantages:

Over democracy: no danger for it to swing into fascism or autocracy.

Over autocracy: bad governments can be replaced.

Additionally, in practice, it should feel the same that we were having for ages when liberal parties were on power. (Proof?)

Probably this is the mythical "better than democracy" form of government that we are all waiting for?

Thoughts?
