This makes a lot of sense to me, but I don't think anyone can really put into place any real change within a paltry 4 year period. It'd be a struggle even over 8.
Moreover, when the culture of politics is more about hating the opposition ipso facto rather than actually having a sensible thoughtful opinion/debate, all you'd end up with is subsequent governments undoing the pervious governments' work. The country would be chasing its tail.
A change in culture might be the answer, but how the hell could that actually be achieved?!

The country as it is, costs more money to run than we pull in, the politicians trying to get into power have to lie about how they'd make it so much better by doing x, y, z, rather than a. b, c, the politicians in power have to lie about the lies they told to get into power and also have to point out the oppositions lies, while lying about what they are doing to make the country 'great again'
It's all bollocks and we argue over who is best and who didn't minimise tax, who didn't claim too many expenses, who didn't fuck their secretary etc, which is daft as all parties have skeletons in the closet.
Their hands are pretty much tied as to what they can do so they basically move a bit of spending about according to their leanings.
I'd be in favour of a rotational system where each main party has a few years in power then they pass the baton on, throw in some coalition and do away with the adversarial nature of the whole thing, which does nobody any favours and takes away time and money from what the Government is there to do-run the country.

How much do things actually change under different Governments though? I have noticed next to fuck all difference since turning 18 about 16 years ago.

It seems to me that there are 2 options for a party which wishes to show that they are being led by someone who is decent, honest, has integrity.
1. Choose anybody you like and then Spin them as being a Pretty Straight Kind of Guy.
2. Choose someone who is decent, honest, has integrity.
Option 2 looks much more likely to succeed in the long term. (Personal Data Leaks seem likely to become more common. Not less common).
I am not saying that the Media will never find any Sleaze or Dirt on Jeremy Corbyn........ because there isn't any.
But his ex Wife is saying that.
Telling people he'll be standing down - the knives will be out with the likes of Boris jostling for the leadership. He's a lame duck PM.
EU referendum - why now? The EU is toxic for the Tories and is taking up most of MPs time as a civil war gets under way. What happens if he loses and people vote for out?
EU renegotiation - promised a lot and delivered bugger all and we're now told by senior MEPs that it's not binding.
Add to that junior doctors strike, disabled benefits U-turn, looming teachers strike, poor initial response to a steel crisis they knew was coming and most of this is post the 2015 election.

Ad Hominem attacks have always been a Left Wing attack of choice, but the glass houses adage has caught them out, again ! There'll no doubt be a Labout apologist on shortly to bleat about talking about the issues rather than personalities.

I don't think they have. Some people perceive them going from crisis to crisis based on newspaper reports. It's been quite clear that the newspapers and media in general have become far more polarized in the last year. Vested bastard interest as ever, which also explains the way everyone's chickenshitted their way out of the Whittingdale/escort story until now.
Wow! Ed Miliband closes his eyes at the exact moment that he hands a few coins to a beggar in the street!
Er......No he doesn't. It was 100% bullshit. The other 499 images captured in Burst Mode were immediately detroyed to enhance the market price of the Gotcha shot.
Unfortunately.....or fortunately.......What goes around, Comes around. The target is wounded. It seems very likely that the target did not work 7 paper rounds to pay his Eton fees. Step 2 is for everyone to kick him whilst he is on the ground. The sleaze is showing and the shit is showing. That would explain why his nickname is Shit Show Dave.
