The Brits know how to do an election night.
We can't do it the same way, because we have a zillion different federal, state, & local offices up for grabs on the same day, plus ballot initiatives & referenda.
But one night with elections to a single legislative house is so pure, it's fun.
UK politics can be grim, but election night there with constituencies being largely ungerrymandered, losers standing next to winners of podiums, and the "election season is 6 weeks, not 2 years" default is incredibly wholesome
also "if/when you lose, there's no lame duck season, the next guy arrives tomorrow at 10am" is a big UK W vs the US system, we should totes get rid of that
Part of that, aside from general downsides of a presidential system, is they get how the way to do it is a relatively small number of top-level political appointees, not going five levels down into middle management with it so the incoming president has thousands of jobs to fill.
Altogether there are almost 4,000 political appointees, about a quarter of which require Senate confirmation. It's absurd and because of it even our obnoxiously long transition period functionally isn't long enough and it takes months into a new term to really get up and running.
