This. Next have a many-party political system so parties have to form coalitions. Or even better, only vote for and pay taxes to the lowest level of gov't (village, neighbourhood); then replace all higher levels of gov't with committees that are on topic (health care, roads, public transport, etc.) that are funded and mandated by those local gov't bodies. Note that committees do not have exclusive "right", local gov't bodies can switch or create their own if they feel the need.
