How about something radical.
A directly elected dictator who appoints his own cabinet and can pass what ever he wants.
A opposition leader who appoints his own shadow cabinet.
Bills are discussed in the house in the same reading process and question period still occurs.
The remaining MPs have no power and no votes but sit on committees providing recommendations on improvements to bills which could be accepted and could propose private members bills which the dictator could accept or reject. They also wouldn't be allowed to have parties either. They are for representation
Functionally this wouldn't change how our current system actually works in terms of bills becoming law. What I describe above is more or less what currently happens
However it would change the role of the MP to be purely representing constituents and would make every vote in the country matter when selecting the leader of the country rather than just swing areas of the countries having influence.
It accomplishes my goal of decisive leadership and easily deposed leaders while also enhancing peoples influence when voting and gets rid of the party system for MP's by making them just representatives.
