I've wondered how many people must be watching it, i think its on their programming later at night now.

Politics being divisive is a reason politics opportunities like QandA should be available. It forces the members of the Partys together to discuss the topics on the same platform.

For example, i think it was on the latest episode of Rest is Politics - Leading, where Johnathan Haidt talked about Newt Gingrich forcing a policy of Congress meeting only Tuesday-Thursday to ensure the representatives wouldn't feel a need to move to Washington DC, and instead fly in then fly home again. Newt Gingrich's theory, he claims, was the Republicans got too cosy with the establishment once they got to Washington DC.
