How can we make government better?

I think we often get things we don't need because it's attached to bills that we want. And we reject things we do need because the riders and add ons are unacceptable. I suggest there would be less need for compromise if the bills were limited to a single issue. Let them pass or fail on their own merits. Not because there is something added that has nothing to do with the proposal.

Here is a petition to the government proposing exactly this. I think it is a simple idea that could make a positive change.
