The flaws of democracy - but what else could we have?

Voltaire also says;

The best government is benevolent tyranny tempered by occasional assassination.

The latter part I do not quite agree, but I agree with his implication of the first part. The shortcomings of democracy. If there is such a thing as "benevolent tyranny", that would work the best for the country and people, despite the fact that it would be difficult to oust the ruler without his consent.
