What do y’all think of my idea for a governmental system?
Executive branch is a council of 9 or 11 members who are elected for a 9 or 11 year term (however many members there are). The elections are staggered so someone new is elected to this council every year, but since members are there for so long, there remains a lot of stability (so you can’t just have someone like Trump win 1 election and blow everything up). There is a main leader of this council (the president) and a vice president, who must be from a different party than the president.
The Executive council has quite a bit more power than the President in the US, but any overreach is countered by a strong judiciary and institutions.
The legislative branch is similar to the current U.S. Congress, except the House has less power and the Senate has more. The Senate requires a larger majority vote to get into (60% maybe) and you must be a member of the House before you can get into the Senate.
This fixes some of the major problems of liberal democracy, mainly partisan gridlock and extreme radicals taking an oversized share of power. It also should accelerate economic growth and stability, which democracy does not usually bring to developing countries. Also, this government has gold-backed currency, 0% inflation, and a balanced budget as core principles in the constitution.
This system you suggest is pretty good; however there are flaws. Are you really willing to give longer terms to someone like Javier Milei? Is radical change a good thing? With 11 year terms there’s going to be huge jumps in how the government of the day is elected, rapid changes in the electoral system, and ‘bright new ideas’ which will see a dynamic but confusing environment seen under that of the Protestant and Catholic kings and queens of England.
