Term Limits

[Kuciwalker]

No, term limits are for a single office.

Do you mean for any office at all?

For instance, the limit is 4 terms. You serve 4 terms as Prez. Can you then run for a different office or not?

hi ,

why not , ....

but there should be a break after so many turns of having the same office , ....

and there should be no relation with the new job , example , if one served on a counsil , there should be a break from any jobs on that counsil .

have a nice day

skywalker,

That's not what the poll says. It says 'official be up for election', period.

It does not mention different positions.

i would assume that this poll is about how many times someone can run for any position...though it should only count for consecutive terms...

[notyoueither]

I think it is worded unfortunately.

There is a good reason for term limits. It's called voter stupidity, or apathy, or laziness. I am not necessarily talking about this game, but IRL. Because IRL when you can keep running for office unlimited, you become almost autoelected. Let other people have a chance. Locally, my city mayor can't be reelected because of term limits. Yes, he was doing a good job, but compare to my legislators that started out the same way, but can be reelected unlimited; given a small amount of time, and their good jobs go down hill quicker than a sled.

There is always someone who can do a better job than the current ins. That person may not get elected, but s/he is out there.


For now, unlimited and 2 terms are tied at 8 each.

But Group 2 is behind Group 1 13 to 8, which would put the 2-term limit in the lead by quite a bit.

It was already decided in another poll that you can go from position to position as many times as you want. The poll only refers to the # of terms in a row someone is allowed to be elected (i.e. you can run as many times as you want, but you can only win x number of times).
