Ah yes, "we will judge how they rule themselves and demand they behave to our liking as part of them ruling themselves" said the colonists who dominated and subjugated 80% of the humans on the planet for 600 years.

It's absolutely not my place to tell them how to rule themselves. When you look at countries in former colonized regions (South America, Africa, MENA) you will see that they came up with quite diverse systems post-independence. For example, in the parts of Somalia that arent a failed state, you have an elected parliament that still is based on tribe membership.

But deciding on how to govern should encompass all people within that country.

It can't until you kick out the Europeans once and for all, because as long as the Europeans still wield influence, it's impossible for the masses to have their interests promoted.
