The video is about voting and how congress passed a bill to record their votes. Which creates the party dynamic we see now with strict policing of votes and backlash against rogue votes. And it also make lobbying/vote buying effective because any congress member can just show the voting record to get paid.
He recommends secret ballots, which would cripple lobbying as results would start to be uncertain and would break the 2 party hedgemony as rogue voters could pass or prevent bills.
