i'm afraid i'm usually a little too verbose for this forum, so, before i launch into my answer i'll condense it into just one word: transparent. that's what the ideal political system is like, i say ideal because i don't believe in perfect, not when there are humans involved.
ok, now for the expanded version:
well, values and beliefs necessarily change over time and political systems will comprise core values and beliefs (at least those of the majority), so for starters you need people in leadership or strong advisory positions who are very well informed, leading scientists, leading economists, leading psychologists and members of the medical professions and so on, should have a good level of input when it comes to policy making. i don't think you could say the ideal is marxism or that it's socialism as they are understood today and work towards that. i think if you took the best of any of the major political ideologies (and we are definitely not including the lunatic fringes) and distilled them to their essence, you could make a success of any one them (even something approaching a utopian scenario) but you would never be able to achieve that without greater civic and political involvement and you'll only get that through better (fairer) education systems.
in an ideal world, it wouldn't be a handful of global commercial organisations which pull the strings on the world leaders' stage. for instance, the corporate lobbyists in brussels outnumber and outspend public interest groups, those with power and the finances which go with power would behave a great deal more ethically - they would have to in a system which is totally transparent, i'm sure i have read somewhere (and if i find it i shall come back and reference it) that watched people are well behaved people (from a psychological and evolutionary point of view, it makes sense).
the drawback with this plan is that it won't work unless people are paying attention, unless we are watching, unless we are interested (participating in the process, in other words). the level of apathy (to be witnessed at too many voting stations across the globe), the level of disillusionment, the feeling that nothing we do will make a difference to the corruption taking place along those upper echelons, these are things which need to be conquered (so, let us usher in a new age of progressive education) before anything remotely like progress on the ethical side of politics can even be thought about.
personally, i happen to be believe in democracy but as a political system it is just as open to corruption and manipulation as any other, so, i'm voting for a transparent democracy (many think we already have it but we really don't).

There is no perfect political system in this world even if it may seem to be more imperfect the more packed with dishonest liars,it is.It's level of inadequacy might also depend on it's implementation of justice/injusctice on and depending on the society which depends on the families or houses(and their traditions)which gets supported by indivduals who may get motivated or discouraged by whatever the government and/or it's economical and political system has to steal and/or offer,directly or indirectly...
A world wide democracy seems great theoretically but what guarantees that we as people shall ever,all in all,get along as one?If it was even remotely implied you will have people using it as a warning about the anti-christ's reptilian NWO(new world order)and if it did not you will surely have people who will try hard to find people whom they might blame for the stupid segregation within the diversed/dyeversed/dieversed human-race while yelling:One Love!(paradox)...
But some countries like the scandanavian ones and canada seem to be progressing just fine,from an inaccurate outside view like mine's:that can accordingly be easily falsified,if resulted in a more theoretically than practically-derived conclusion...

There are no perfect political systems even if the relatively more "democratic":(not sure if it can entirely exist in this more imperfect and "realistic" world)infrastructures started with blood and/or dictatorships...
