America, you need to take a LONG, HARD LOOK at your governmental system.... Then you'll realise.... It's WELL AND TRULY F**KED! Then take a look at your neighbour, Canada, also Britain, New Zealand and Australia. Canada, New Zealand and Australia have better models of government as they have Governors-General above their Prime Ministers. The Prime Minister is chosen by his/her party to lead them in Parliament. He/she is elected by people living in several districts around a region, these are called "Electorates" which can be geographically large(several hundred square kilometres) or small, depending on the density of population, so long as a roughly-equal number of voters live in each electorate. The voter must be 18 years or older, born or naturalised as a citizen and enrolled to vote. Note here the voter is NOT enrolled to vote for a particular party, he/she is simply enrolled to VOTE, and in Australia, VOTING in FEDERAL and STATE GOVERNMENT, as well as local council elections, is COMPULSORY, AS IT SHOULD BE! The role of the Governor-General is as a "Ceremonial" Head Of State, in effect the Queen's "proxy", but that role is, should the people vote for a republic in a referendum, easily convertible to that of a ceremonial President, but with the same role as he/she currently fulfils except he/she no longer represents The Queen, but instead represents the citizens of the nation, akin to The Republic of Ireland.
