The "leaders" of local and national governments are "selected" by elections, in which all citizens vote.
That includes male, female, land owners, and non-landowners, of any religion and ethnic background. None of these factors is a 'test' or requirement for citizenship.
The structure of Israel's national government is similar to the national governments of Canada, Australia, Japan, the UK, and others. (But not the USA.) The most similar governments to Israel are those of Germany and New Zealand in terms of how parties are organized and how parliamentary coalitions are formed.

∙ 11y agoThere is not just one Ayatollah. It is a the Shiite equivalent of an Archbishop (more or less). Ayatollahs gain their rank in much the same way that Archbishops rise: they start out as Imams in congregations, they issue Islamic judicial opinions (fatwas), they learn additional information in Islamic Schools (Madrassas), their opinions become more important and other Imams recommend them for "promotion" etc.
For an Ayatollah to become the Supreme Leader of Iran, that Ayatollah must be one of the ten Ayatollahs that sit on the Supreme Council. Then the ten of them discuss amongst themselves who should be the Supreme Leader and vote unanimously.

Is Democracy in Iran?
Islamic Republic of Iran has a real democracy that I suggest everyone reseach about it in fair sites and books. In fact Islamic democracy. The authorities have many ways to rebuke their opponents but only Islamic ways are acceptible like hanging on a tree, stonning to death, whipping.... You see they are completely fair. Iran is more of a semi-presidential theocratic democratic republic. Basically the President of Iran acts more like the Prime Minister of France (elected by the people, but can also be dismissed by the Supreme Leader), while the Supreme Leader of Iran is more like Nicolas Sarkozy (except that the Supreme Leader is not elected by the people but by a upper-house like assembly called the Assembly of Experts). Both the President of Iran and the Supreme Leader of Iran share executive powers, but it is the Supreme Leader that has the final say on decisions.

The Assembly of Experts are elected by the people. though, in my opinion, he is a sick man, he forces unfair laws based on religion unto the people. I my self am Iranian and I love my country, but he ruined it all.
