Then one day, the majority became the minority! And vise versa.Majority decision is not the best way to determine things. Decisions shouldn't be popularity contests. The flat earth was a very popular idea.

I didn't.
Im with @Secret Chief on this, i had no idea it was coming. But now it's come I'll let democracy decided
In some situations, yes. In others, no. Because it was a forced choice, I chose 'yes' because I agree sometimes, although I also disagree...
I read the poll three times, focused on the word "good" and voted yes. It's not the best way but a good way. For one thing, the "wrong" person gets elected sometimes. For another propaganda, aka money, sways public opinion on referrenda.
But compared to dictatorships and authoritarian governments we see today, it's much better than that.
So what is idea? Truly enlightened and extremely wise rulers. In the Indian tradition, that would be Krishna, for example, who ruled a kingdom. In the west, perhaps a "philosopher king".
Of course the problems that are easy to say are involved such as determining who these people really are and changing leaders if they prove to be not the evolved beings we thought.

My son bought me a mug for my last birthday, inscribed: "I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.", which I consider a warm compliment.
It applies here.
P.S. I decline to participate in the poll.
