I have often remarked “If we had viable third parties in this country, and there was a party that held no policy positions whatsoever but just vowed to make government more efficient, I would vote for them every time”. I feel that this is the forgotten element in so many things. We argue between American health-insurance healthcare and single-payer healthcare, but I believe both systems could be really good if they were run efficiently, and both systems could be horrific abominations if they are run inefficiently.
I really wish politicians would establish clear KPIs and track their progress against those KPIs. Even if the KPIs change from administration to administration, having clear goals and optimizing for them would be a huge benefit.
