Quite frankly, my Congressperson's view on foreign relations are of secondary importance. My President's views on foreign relations are very important as Idiot Bush has demonstrated. I may vote for a Republican Senator if she is doing a good job for my particular state, but I certainly don't want her choosing the President for me. I am quite capable of choosing a President myself (note I did not vote for the Idiot - ever )

Your views are interesting fantassy, but I think you interpreted my post. I was not suggesting or recommending the system here in the UK.
