I don't disagree. However, when you're only flipping between two parties, does that ever really incentivize either of them to root out the corruption, nepotism, backroom deals, etc.?
EDIT: It's also just transparently disingenuous grandstanding by some of these posters who would have been completely fine with 30 years of Harper.
