I think it would solve a lot of problems. My main expectation, is the dramatic reduction of influence by lobbyists. Which in turn, should produce a model where lobbyist would work on influencing the actual voters. So they may not spend less money, but it will go on influencing the electorate itself. The language, methods and areas of influence will change as well -- and that's what I would like. I realize, that at least in some analysis, this did not happen in Michigan. (just reduction of lobbyist spending was 13%, but politicians with less experience consulted with them more -- See page 19 of [1] ). However, I think the number of years in service, plus preliminary background requirements for staff members, plus other adjustments, still need to be made for a proper term-limit system. Fundamentally, I believe, there are no small (defined as less than 1000), humans that should be permanently place in the position of distributing tax dollars, or military control. These two things will produce corruption no matter how 'intellectually clean' a person is, entering the position. US, UK and other countries claiming to be the 'moral compasses' for the world to follow, need to figure out how to switch from the class of politicians to the 'statesman' . Whereas, I see a politician as somebody who makes is their job/career, vs statesman -- who view their work as a poorly (or insignificantly) compensated service for 8-12 years.
