> I think there are better systems than democracy, one of them being mixed systems.

It looks to me you have some idyllic notion of democracy. If you use my definition (which is generally accepted) of "checks and balances and the rule of law", then a "mixed system" as you suggested definitely qualifies. But you have to realize that in all systems there will be people who lie. If you "hate when you are lied to your face", then I have some terrible news for you: you will not find any system where people don't lie to your face.

Except, possibly, in the Sultanate of Oman.
