With the ho-hummery of the offerings on television currently and people’s interest in politics, I suggest a program for Sunday night prime time. It could be called Sundaybate and feature a minister and his (or her) opposition member giving their views/counter views on the portfolio and their intentions and visions for the future wellbeing of our country.

At the current time, tens of millions of dollars are spent on advertising and promoting the parties. Here is a chance to portray themselves to a wide audience for no cost. Someone confident of their policies and believing in what they say and do should have no trouble with this format.
