Unless you're suggesting to split it as politicians vs non-politicians then what you're suggesting isn't going to have the outcome you want. If you spent more time trying to understand your neighbors rather than saying 'disappear from existence you lowlife scum' you'd probably gain more support too. Politicians will always turn complex arguments into binary sides so they can carve up the population and stay in power. That's why there's a seesaw instead of any actually resolutions. Splitting the coast into their own nations won't change that. If you voted for one of the primary parities you're not trying to improve anything either, you're voting for the status quo no matter which person you select.
