The No Party System - Combining Democracy and Meritocracy

The US Founding Fathers were against factionalism which is the institution of political parties, yet the system they devised with the help of later Congresses almost guaranteed the rise of political parties. As a result, the US is basically a two party political system with one member districts in the House of Representatives. China, on the other hand, is a one party system comprised of scholar bureaucrats who for most of China's 5000 year history have had to pass a strict examination based on Confucian ethics. Whereas the US is a democracy based on 'one person, one vote', China is a meritocracy based on an Imperial exam system and local experience requirements in order to get the best and brightest into the Chinese bureaucracy. We devise a hypothetical political system which combines these two ideals - democracy and meritocracy - in the form of a no party system.
