Should there be term limits set for members of Parliament?
A term limit is a law that limits the amount of time a political representative may hold an elected office. In the U.S. the office of the President is restricted to two four year terms. There are currently no term limits for Congressional terms but various states and cities have enacted term limits for their elected officials at the local level.

Reelected by the trumps and Johnson support give a UK and america support by legs seats legend former UK prime minister Boris Johnson hoping stands up unions and step down increase program
@9DWKW352yrs2Y
Yes, they should only be allowed to stand in 2 consecutive elections before having to stand down allowing for fresh ideas and moving with the times
No, but there should be age restrictions with retirement benefits for fairer representation of young people
No but maybe only for prime ministers (two terms). Also increase the terms to four years. Three years is too short to get anything done.
@9DQCX3D2yrs2Y
Yes and no retirement payouts. There should be less Mp's to!
@9DPH5P62yrs2Y
Not necessarily, a good member of parliament/prime minister might be the best choice for the country, however the individuals most likely to do everything they can to remain in power probably aren't going to be making the best choices for the country but more what is best for them personally.
Yes, but they should be longer terms
Yes, unless there is no opposition running.
No. and remove any payments after leaving parliament. (No one else is continuously paid after leaving a job.
There should be less parlimentary seats, and higher incomes to attract people with real world experience instead of 'professional politicians'.
No, but their salaries and benefits should be decreased
@9FCFHRF2yrs2Y
No - MPs are there for a season, whatever that season turns out to be.
@9F86C5D2yrs2Y
No, but everyone that goes into politics should have 10 years working in the public sector
@9F5JKTD2yrs2Y
No, unless their performance is poor
No but there should be age limits. Nobody who could be over 70 during the coming term is eligible to stand for election
No term limit but there should be an age limit
@9FPG44R2yrs2Y
Yes, term limits for parties should be increased to 5 years for the first term and 3 years for successive terms.therefore members can stay in position over this duration, provided they meet the performance criteria of the public and party in power.
Yes to Term limits. Say 6 terms max. AND a requirement that 90% of all Politicians actually have a relevant CV that proves competence in Managing people, budgets, etc... and prudent decision making and success at something
No, they should be able to stay as long as they are the right person for the job.
@9FGS9TWOpportunities2yrs2Y
No, it is infeasible to limit how much experience the people running the country have. However, their benefits and salaries should be decreased, and if caught partaking in bribery or lobbying they should be banned from reelection
@9DP82PF2yrs2Y
No, but their lower their salary
@9DMSH5C2yrs2Y
No, but their salary and benefits should decrease and not be exorbitant. Money should not be a motivation for those positions.
Yes, and should be shortened if politicians or candidates have reached an excessively advanced age.
@9D4TSBV2yrs2Y
I agree that elections can be used as term limiters, but I also think 20 years should be the maximum time in Parliament, and that their pensions should be reduced and not increased for service beyond 12 years.
@9BD9XGJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for the Prime Minister (at three terms). All salaries and benefits should be reduced.
@96CP7PQ2yrs2Y

@95KSND53yrs3Y
Yes, and also increase turnover for parliamentary support staff
@945CVFT3yrs3Y
If they’re good at what they do then they should be allowed to go for as long as they want but there should be the option for the public to vote them out if they feel the MP is under preforming
@8J4VMRS4yrs4Y
They should not get payed once they have left pirliament
No, but reduce the salary and retirement packages which add cost to the tax payers wiht no benefit.
@9CT6DVX2yrs2Y
No, but I don’t agree with List members of Parliament. Representation should be a personal accountability to a constituency.
@9CKSRS42yrs2Y
There should be an age limit. Under 70.
Only if they are not performing as expected otherwise election term is a term
@9C2K3PS2yrs2Y
No, but there should be a three strikes system or other which allows those who've proven corrupt or ineffective from running again.
@9BTXGPT2yrs2Y
No, but decrease salary & retirement benefits and invest in health or education
@9BC37RY2yrs2Y
No, but they should only be able to be re-elected if they delivered on political promises
@9B8PBMD2yrs2Y
Yes but in conjunction with a term extension. Expecting delivery outside BAU in a 3 year term is ridiculous and it's costing a fortune. We need to extend the term to 4 years.
@98PXPCQ2yrs2Y
Unlimited and increase become cost of living payment inc
@97VKWKJ2yrs2Y
Yes, but there should be a maximum age limit.

@8H7C4LR4yrs4Y
Individual assessments to be done at end of each 3 year term
@8G8FVL54yrs4Y
No but there should be an age limit as with judges
@8FFMHZS5yrs5Y
Only if A Politician is not A Idoit.
@8DWNDL45yrs5Y
I believe we have too many politicians and we should decrease the number of politicians we have.
@8CJH7QY5yrs5Y
No but parties should ensure their members are working for their regions, too often once elected in MP's dissapear from public
@8C7Y9L85yrs5Y
Only fire them if they aren't doing a good job.
