    Term limits are stupid, if the person doing the job currently is neither incompetent nor corrupt then there’s no benefit to swapping them out. As long as you can vote them out if and when they stop doing a good job there’s no good reason not to let the same person keep doing the same job til they retire, and if you can’t then your system is already fucked.

      Nah. Term limits help prevent the creation and perpetuation of “good old boy” clubs. Quite honestly, it is better to have an inexperienced but well meaning rando, than an expert who makes a habit of lining their pockets with their experience.
