I am positive that it would take less time for a decision to be reached than it does within the democratic system.

Who decides what "the best idea" is? On what do you base your confidence that "it would take less time for a decision to be reached than it does within the democratic system"? How big of a society are you talking about, here, because in anything larger than a village I can see major flaws in the budgeting of time alone. And that's not even taking into account differences in personality among the populace that you so boldly assert will always make the "right" choice.
