If the limits were less then they could think in longer terms for the future instead of smaller stints like only four years
@conorbruce 2mos2MO
No, as i feel elections are good term limits but I do believe wages and benefits should be lowered for TD's
@9NNM2CH2mos2MO
No, but limit retirement benefits to only kick in when they reach retirement age, and remove benefits once they leave
@9HM7ZJW8mos8MO
There should not be term limits. They should be tested in the cognitive abilities, Mental health, physicality and their past performance.
@8LJFXMK4yrs4Y
One may be elected, however they should not receive multiple pensions

Yes, but only after modernity has been completely eradicated from every institution by a populist leadership
