Want to End Partisan Politics? Here’s What Won’t Work — and What Will

Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein wrote in The Washington Post, Want to end partisan politics? Here’s what won’t work — and what will. "We’ve all heard the laments — we’ve made some of them ourselves — that Washington is broken, that our political system can’t grapple with the nation’s big, long-term problems. So what can be done about it? Unfortunately, the cures that get tossed around are often misguided, sometimes even worse than the disease. Here are five much-praised solutions we should avoid, followed by four that have a chance to make a meaningful difference."

I hadn't heard of some of the suggestions and like them. It's worth a read.
