How Federalism in Somalia Should Work

[Farm]

Each federal member state should elect a Sultan (leader), and the states should contribute revenue to the federal government, they would enjoy autonomy such as each state having their own laws at the state level.

Each Sultan (their voting power would depend on the population of their state) would then vote to elect a Boqor (president) for the whole Somali nation that would stay in power for five years.

Direct democracy won’t work with the amount of divisions that exist in Somalia, besides even if we tried democracy would eventually fail, as $6000 GDP per captia is the threshold a nation needs to meet for a democracy to succeed.

The Swiss model would work better.

Every state should have its own representative assembly with hundreds of normal elected citizens that run the state's legislative side.

Their president doesn't get elected but nominated by the assembly to act as a symbolic figurehead for them.

The federal president seat will rotate within the state presidents.

Lets be real...A federal parliament wouldn't get anything done in Somalia.
