"I would think that a democratic government is a better government than the other ones (Like the one wherein there is only one ruler, and what he/she says goes)"
Other forms of government to democracy include fascism, communism and socialism though these often become construed to some kind of dictatorship. Autocracy is often cited as the antithesis of democracy. However it is problematic to officially say what any form of government is (unless it is a democracy.)
Another form of government outside of these two is a theocracy - a government based on religion - of which the most obvious example is an Islamic Republic such as Iran or Afghanistan.
And now for my thoughts regarding democracy, I would also like to know what you think about the issue!
Should voting in a democracy be compulsory? The ballot slip would therefore could a box to abstain but the point is that people would still have to turn up and vote for abstain. I think it would be problematic but with such low voter turnouts how can any society truly claim, in my opinion, to be a democracy.
