Well speaking as someone without much of a personality I prefer a bureaucratic system based on ministers who know what they're doing, such as a doctor as minister of health, and a figurehead picked from the party, rather than a personality who only got elected because he knows how to charm people. When you get down to it most people would be more comforatble with the sytem they already live under and know I guess. Well except those rabid anarchists.
You seem to have something called impeachment for your Presidents when they become unpopular. Here if you are causing too much bad publicity for the party they'll vote you out and replace you with a new leader even if the person on the way out was the Prime Minster. Those communists I mentioned did such a thing last time they were in office. At one point they were so unpopular the Governor General kicked them out. They made a big fuss about it being unfair but it didn't help them get elected in the snap election where the electorate unsurprsingly pointed out they were indeed unpopular.
and yes, to any Australians following this, I am a Liberal.
anyway as Gerald Ford sort of said once
"Personally I've never found voting to be all that important to the process"
