Getting rid of Presidentialism

[GemState]

How to get rid of Presidentialism in Somalia? It's one of the worst aspects of the political culture, and cultivates a winner take all mentality that isn't healthy. On paper the PM is the actual head of government, but it never works out like that and is a make work program to balance clan.

Maybe we need a rotating constitutional monarchy like in Malaysia? Can't be worse than what we have now.

I wish these types of ideas comes to the minds of politicians. As this is our future as a civilized society, we need to make sure that the system of government is right for its people.

PM is the head of the government and the President is the head of the executive branch of the state. It is a mixed system of the presidential and parliamentary system.

It actually called the premier-presidential

Implementing a monarchy is highly unlikely, but a rotating leadership system is intriguing. However, there's a risk that those aware they won't be re-elected might exploit their term for personal gain, leading to corruption.

Proportional representation is the most democratic, but it could lead to gridlock with numerous small parties representing minor sub-clans. The majority (a simple 51%) could potentially exploit their power for personal gain at the expense of the nation.

Perhaps a 4.5 Politburo-style council above the government, with veto power but no lawmaking authority, could help curb excessive corruption.

Considering presidentialism makes sense as it encourages candidates to appeal beyond their clans, fostering broader unity.
