Carrots and Sticks for Democracy
As a nation we are facing big challenges, the greatest of which is our inability to work together to solve problems. This is a lighthearted video with a serious message - we must put country above career and party, and learn to work together.

I liked how simple the idea is. Going back to simple methods that proved its efficiency to deliver good outcome. We tend to complicate things while it is really simple. Good work people.

Absolutely outstanding. I hope the politicians take a look at this because the message is clear and concise as to what must be done to solve our problems.
