There is no truly objective answer to that. The dominance of Western values and power all over the world starting in the late 19th century has led to the general opinion that 'democracy' is by definition the best form and 'absolute rule / Dictatorship' etc. by definition the worst.
But it isn't of course, certainly not by definition. Many democratically led countries have been led to their ruin by their democratically elected leaders; just think of Greece and Venezuela as a recent example and of several South American countries in the recent past. The USA today finds itself in a situation where a Republican-dominated Congress will on principle fight tooth and nail any and all policies of the Democrat-dominated Executive branch. And many African countries have all the institutions of democracy but still are rife with dissent, tribal conflict, corruption and other forms of mismanagement.
On the other hand there are countries like China that has a one-party system that allows no real influence from the people and that yet has shown itself a success story, coming as it did from a situation of almost total ruin in the days of Chairman Mao. In the course of history there have been many countries ruled by absolute kings and emperors (think the Roman Empire, Prussia, Saudi Arabia) that considered themselves well-governed despite the lack of democracy.
So you could say that is not really the form of government that will make for a people's happiness and prosperity. It is the matter of any form of government's effectiveness in looking after its people's happiness and prosperity coupled with that people's feeling that they have recourse to a justice and law system that will protect them from any undue actions by government officials.

HE is saying that democracy is the best form of government known to man. The full quote is "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried." In other words, "Democracy is the worst, but it beats all the other ones that have been tried".
There is no evidence that in a democratic country, a parliamentary system is any worse or better than a republic form of government. With the assumption that the democratic country is truly democratic, than its citizens will adapt a form of government best suited to the country's needs.
The base form of "worst" is simply "bad."
The superlative form of worse is worst. Example sentences: This is the worst storm we've seen in years. That team has the worst record in the league.
AnswerDemocracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried.In a speech in the House of Commons on 11 November 1947, Winston Churchill said:No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
The best in US journalism and the worst in US government/politics.
Democracy is in many ways an unsatisfactory form of government, and it often leads to bad results, but nonetheless, it is the best form of government that we have been able to devise so far; all the other are worse.
Worst is the superlative. Worse is the comparative.
