If there is not anarchy there is a single leader
Government requires a leader... we have a choice between presidentialism (with a strong leader) or anrachy a government by many is meaningless and impossible. If there is not a president there is anarchy. The 'presidential' problem of fptp is not nullified by having many separate constituencies because of the emergence of tactical voting and loyalty to political parties. We can think of direct democracy and referendums as a lack of government... government is always presidential and representative we do not get a choice. Direct democracy gives a veto on all laws to the people whereas fptp removes that veto and puts all the power in the hands of one person. Fptp removes the democratic veto from the people and gives it to the (elected) leader. Fptp assumes it is better to have a leader to vote on our behalf and control everything than to be leaderless. It is the opposite of anarchy. There can never be a government (of many) there can only ever be a single governor or there is anarchy.
