increase the powers of the PM and make him directly elected to that job by the people rather than his own party, and I'm ecstatic.

Surly that would make him president then not prime (first) minister. Rather then going all the way to having directly elected president/prime minister i personally would like to see the torys honor their election pledge of forcing a general election if/when the governing party changes its leader. This would go a long way to preventing the problem of having a PM with no public mandate (ala brown) without the expense of having a presidential election on top of the general commons election.
