        Our system is not a mess. The problem is that we have terrible candidates who run for President.

        Parliamentary systems are OK if there are just 2 parties. Multiparty parliamentary systems are recipes for disaster. Small parties become kingmakers.

        And the funny thing is that it's just like the Electoral College... only instead of limited purpose electors, you have electors beholden to party interests even after their vote.

        Yup. The near-simultaneous crises throughout the Western world indicate that the main problem is not tied to any particular political systen.

        No matter who becomes Prime Minister, the winner will still be far more qualified than any of our Presidents since 1992. And even if he wasn't, he'd be surrounded by a Cabinet of veteran parliamentarians, who he couldn't fire on a whim without replacing with another.
