I think banning political attack ads might be something worth trying. Sure you could still attack your adversaries through other means, and obviously you need to be able to criticize your opponent, but I think bombarding your nation with the idea that every candidate is horrible before every election can't be healthy for how people see politics and politicians.
After all, most ads are attack ads now.in the US.

The money in US politics is insane. Millions of dollars spent on local elections and propositions.
