@Lilymoon Than do something about it. It is called an election.
Term limits only benefit parties that nobody wants and can't win an election without an arbitrary rule giving them an advantage.
Term limits were introduced in the US for no other reason than the GOP could not win an election against FDR.
Term limits also make it nearly impossible for governments to do any long term planning. Because anything that takes longer than 4 years gets scrapped because it will just get cancelled if they lose a mid term. So nobody even bothers to try long term planning.
Also I think we have onely had 5 PMs in all of our history that served longer than 2 terms organically. Even Jean Chretien that was popular to complain about only stuck around for 2 years more than the typical 8 years of 2 terms.
The longest serving PM largely ended up in that position because of the 2 world wars.

Not that I know of.
I do know however, that United States Presidents have term limits, though.
From all the encyclopedias I read, I know that the late Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a total of 4 terms in office, thus making him the longest running of any President, past or present.
It was only after his death in 1945, that the rule was implemented that President should be allowed more than two four-year terms in office.

@CountScrofula What do you think of Trudeau

@JohnOlinger81 Meh.

@JohnOlinger81 If you must know, I'm trying NOT to think of him.
And don't even ask me if I would do him, because the answer to that is HELL to the NO!
