I really wish Canadian parties adopted some kind of term limit rules. It seems to always happen that the parties let one leader run things into the ground. It's just so dumb and they all do it.

This is actually something that I'm okay being without.
If you get a good leader, why not allow them to continue?
I think if you asked the average American the question:
"Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump or...toss the rules and let Obama continue?"
I imagine a lot of damage could have been avoided and a significant chunk of them would select allowing Obama to continue.
The rare exception are people like Putin.
Maybe something along the lines of term limits with exceptions or longer term-limits? Maybe even something like limiting the number or elections a Government can call.
Either way, thats really among the least of our problems
