Democracy is losing a popularity contest the least.As a basis for a system of government, it's not exactly strange women lying in ponds distributing swords.

First Past The Post is not the default setting for democracy.There are several fairer ways to use votes to allocate representatives. We don't need to keep everything shit.

Proportional vote and electoral colleges aren't much better.Democracy is great, in an ideal world.
In an ideal world, everyone is responsible and engaged enough for anarchism to work, so we wouldn't need democracy.

We don't need one.The Speaker of the Commons is already the highest political authority. Alternatively we can look to Ireland for a good example of a completely powerless figurehead president. Their president literally cannot even speak in public without prior written permission.

They kept our parliamentary system, more or less.I think the old Irish monarchical system was quite different to ours. Not quite as hereditary. Nipple-play.
