Sounds like a good solution to me.
With term limits, you restrict the benefits of lobbying, reduce corruption, and bring a new vitality to the political process.
I can't even think of a single downside. What benefit could there be in keeping a politician in place for decades? Certainly they will learn how to be a better politician, but how does that benefit the populace?
- uptown 13y agoOne downside to term limits is that it essentially guarantees more of the revolving-door style of politics. In other words, people would move back and forth from the public to the private-sector ... promoting political agendas beneficial to specific private-sector companies or industries while in-office, eventually to be rewarded with a high-paying job by the very companies or industries they benefitted while in office once their political term ends.
