It can most certainly be done with a second election round ,that is what they are doing in France right now, but I am sure thou prefer a rothschild banker over a real nationalist, even though that nationalist happen to have a uterus, that seems to be important for your people but only when they are on the left, a women with the right ideas are called a class traitor, or a close eqvivalent.
I don’t mind a president that are strong internationally and weak domestically, that could work well if he was elected in a democratic way like with two election rounds and if ye had another institution to handle domestic affairs.
The reason why having two election rounds works better is because it allows for multiple parties. Imagine for instance the very infamous 1912 election, where Roosevelt split the Republican votes. If the rule was that a run off vote was triggered every time no candidate got 50% of the votes, then Teddy and Woodrow would have faced each other in a run-off.
That very system allows for new parties to challenge old parties and people won’t have to vote strategically, they can vote on who they likes the best. The present system in the US gives completely unprecedented powers to the two dinosaur parties, and no one can ever hope to challenge them by running independent because doing so will just hurt his own cause.
This is not just undemocratic it is anti-democratic.
I suggest that beyond changing the system to mandate a runoff round, to also create the position of chancellor to become head of government.
The chancellor would be required to always have the support of a majority in congress, that itself should be elected proportionally in order to prevent gerrymandering and to give room for new parties.
For instance California have 53 representative in congress, so in order for a new “third party” to gain representation from that state it would only be required to get 1,9% of the votes.
Tell me the truth, what art thy country of origin because I know it is not Sweden, a Swede, even a far leftist Swede would get this.
