Yes. Term limits should be promoted until corporate and organizational lobbying/funding is abolished, along with other forms of corruption which does not lead to true and healthy democratic representation.

 @9KZM56Sanswered…4wks4W

No, but an MP should not be allowed to run for the same constituency after winning two elections and losing a 3rd. Give new aspiring politicians a chance. The defeated MP can run elsewhere however.

Difficult - some people are exceptional and we want their public service for as long as possible - age however find the mind and there should be cognitive testing post 65

 @9GDFSNDanswered…6mos6MO

No, but there should be age limits. Elderly politicians running the country have no incentive to improve the world for the younger generations, making them prone to selfish decisions

 @97ZMKPLanswered…1yr1Y

No because the constituents might want to keep their MP. I think it violates democracy.

 @97LL6ZQLiberal Democratanswered…1yr1Y

No but the fixed term parliament act must be restored. And there should be yearly votes of confidence.

 @96RHSVQanswered…1yr1Y

Yes decrease the salary and retirement to the same as minimum wage and these are the people who care about the U K and not about power

 @9HXWLPHanswered…3mos3MO

No, but vastly cut the expenses available and make them pay what everyone else has to with no special perks

 @9HSW8KNanswered…4mos4MO

not necessarily, but i think there should be harsher punishments for misgivings caused by an error on said persons part

 @8YPK9B4 answered…6mos6MO

No, but once someone is no longer in an elected position they should not continue to receive legacy payments of any kind, including the prime minister.

 @9G5MCLJanswered…6mos6MO

While they do gain valuable experience, term limits should be implemented as elections can't always cut it so this move can help to prevent corruption.

 @9FY5N22answered…6mos6MO

Members of Parliament should be expected to meet goals and achievements set and be punished or rewarded accordingly any form of corruption should be treated as a serious criminal offence and if they truly help the nation they should be given honours and a huge severance

 @9FXCWMW answered…6mos6MO

Term limits should be introduced by the monarch if the country's issues do not seem to be improving given significant time that the prime minister has been in office. They should be given notice that if issues are not fixed or the country worsens before a fixed date, he must resign on another fixed date set by the monarch

 @9D9DL47answered…8mos8MO

Yes, also give the opportunity for members to be fired by proportional vote

 @9CXGFPRanswered…9mos9MO

No, but they should not be allowed to run for election after they turn 70

 @9C5SYWCReclaimanswered…11mos11MO

we are not allowed to vote for a PM as the last two the blob choose the leader at a whim

 @9BTX993Conservativeanswered…11mos11MO

No but decrease salaries and benefits to ensure parliament is more cost effective for the public

 @9BNQBPNanswered…12mos12MO

No, but after two terms. If the MP doesn't get elected for a third term in their seat, they have to find somewhere else.

 @9B3L92Canswered…1yr1Y

I don't think a limit should be in place on those who aren't corrupt, but there MUST be a greater level of accountability on those in parliament, for example, charterships (like lawyers) such that when then mess up, then they can be immediately removed.

 @99W2GJHanswered…1yr1Y

Not simple members but I think ministers / Prime Ministers etc should at least have a limit on how long they can be Prime Minister consecutively.

 @99M2XDCanswered…1yr1Y

Should only be a memebder of Parliament with no other paying work or directorships etc

 @98W3JR6answered…1yr1Y

I have no opinion here, though prime ministers should still follow terms so other political parties have a chance of coming into power.

 @98GCHTBanswered…1yr1Y

Have an unlimited amount of possible term limits but have nation wide elections every two years and six months.

 @98CPNG4answered…1yr1Y

No. This leads to politicians not trying to work for the long term future of the country, and only toward the maximum time they can have in office.

 @927YYTGanswered…2yrs2Y

There's should not be a term limit for politicians, but there should be an upper age limit before you are not allowed to carry on a term.

 @8ZXHT69answered…2yrs2Y

I believe while higher up positions do require term limits, lower levels and positions of parliament benefit from having multiple terms of experience

 @8Z3HYNDanswered…2yrs2Y

No, but increase salary and benefits, and ban MPs from having second jobs. Any MP found guilty of bribery, corruption or lying should be imprisoned for life.

 @8YTZY6Hanswered…2yrs2Y

No, Elections are term limits, however salary and retiremen benefits should be decreased
