Direct election of the head of government is not the only way to run a democracy, and there's a lot of arguments in favor of not doing it that way.

To be fair, that’s the way Senators used to be elected - by their state legislature. Then we found that State legislatures were far more easily corruptible, and were, and we changed it to Direct Vote.

Neither way of voting for a big job is perfect, and by the way, let me tell you about the Electoral College ;)
