I think we should get rid of all elections and political parties. They served a (brief) purpose in organising democracies, but now they're destroying them, and fast. The problems societies now face are not problems that need competing viewpoints, they're engineering problems mostly. You don't take a vote on who flies the plane when you travel, nor on which way to fix a gutter on your house. Critical things that are making societies collapse are being sidelined by elections, which are just popularity contests for adults.
