Lots of other countries don't impose a limit in this many terms the prime minister of the head of state can be reelected... And some have a higher democracy index than the US, where such a limit is in place.

Bolivia rejected a similar referendum but Morales has said he'll run again regardless - based on a court decision that throws the constitution out the window.
