Electronic voting is a horrible idea. We should reform the voting system to something that doesn't require counting massive numbers of votes.
But also, the idea of a president or prime minister is dumb. In fact, nobody needs a federal/national government. We should just have a mayor for each city or region and if they need to decide on something which affects the nation as a whole, the mayors of all cities/regions should just get together vote for it.
When is something truly a national matter? Almost never. In those extremely rare cases, representatives can get together and vote.
