Seems as though you admire Trump. He is dangerous as are very many leaders in the world today. In my view, national leadership by any individual doesn't work. Far too often we see leaders mislead once in power, push the boundaries and the public never really know what they are getting. In the modern era this unpredictability creates risk and is dangerous. Any semblance of stability in the world today is precarious and at some point our luck will run out. The only solution that I can see is for leadership to be in the hands of a small cross party group of MPs (in the case of the UK). They may appoint a chairman and spokesperson to represent the leadership group but the group would have control. They would be appointed by means of some form of PR election, preferably annually and largely electronically (much like the submission of Tax Returns). Having it annually would reduce short terms and enable better long term planning. The above is just a broad outline but in reality is unlikely to ever be implemented. There is no discussion of anything along these lines. The powerful and wealthy influencers wouldn't like it and would interfere. Even if something like this was established in one country it is unlikely to be replicated elsewhere. As you can probably gather, I am not optimistic about the ability of our species to survive. At some point I think that our luck will run out but no-one seems to be concerned so perhaps I shouldn't either in our insane world.
