Before we venture to the possibility of robot running a country which seems a long way from the current AI, I think it would be great if we can have a blockchain based election/voting system. Not only for electing leaders, but a system for us to vote on public interests decission. That would be cool!

Hmm this is still tricky because there's really no good way to ascertain actual identities on the blockchain, so voting may still have the same problems, fake identities and stuff. Proof-of-identity is difficult, which is why cryptoeconomically we only have stuff like proof of work, proof of stake etc. And things may become worse if nation states use private blockchains for voting in elections.
Yup agree with your point on private blockchain. That would be counterproductive for all of us.
I remember a project from the early Bisthares day (FollowMyVote) which main goal is to tackle this problem

Not sure where they are now.
