My opinion, as follows. As briefly described as possible.

It would take a significant number of honest people standing up and doing something right for the people that they represent.

See above statement.

I don't find government to be an entity that betters the nation and world. I see that people improve the world. Some might be politicians. Most seem to direct their energies to their cause and ignore the government as best they can.
This stated, the government should not try to meet halfway to better the world. The government should meet halfway to form regulation that will permit those who work to do good to continue in their work without disruption.

If I knew, I would spend my time as a political analyst rather than a Botanist.

I don't believe in the kinds of compromises mentioned by the thread-starter. I see such compromises as interfering with our lives.
