I don’t recommend that at all. If the politics is taken out of government, all that’s left is ideology, and governments which ideologically, rather than politically based, are in my experience, routinely intrusive, frequently hazardous, and occasionally lethal.

What I would like and hope for, even if it is unrealistic, is less misbehavior, graft, corruption, and the like from the elected in both the Legislative and Executive branches of government.

Granted, their antics do provide a measure of entertainment for the electorate, but that is not why they are in office.
