3 yr max. Confidence referendum at 50% of term. A impeachment standard mechanism and absolutely no coalition’s.

I would say no, as my inclination is to say the voters should say how long a certain person is in office. But, at the same time there are some really dangerous people who could be in power for a long time (ex. Donald Trump like-politicians) if we don't have term limits, so I would say that we should be open to it as a form of keeping bad people out of office who wish to do ill, but it also keeps good people from being able to do more with their leadership as well.

I would personally say no, but if it were to happen I wouldn't be against it as there are some career politicians who do last very long as representatives.

There should be some kind of system in place to avoid bad prime ministers staying in power

 @8VLKD3Zfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but voters should decide how long they stay in office if their full terms are up.

  @8TXVXMLfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, the province should set term limits to consecutive terms of their own MPs.

 @9D36K4QLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as it's a way of keeping new people in power. But it should also be long enough as they have an ability to actually see progress being made.

 @9BK2RQ6from British Columbia  answered…2yrs2Y

I would say yes, because it helps keep people who seek to do ill only in power for so long. I would also say that it should be three terms as well.

I think we should have term limits, for the sake of the generational power that can be held by some generations (such as the baby boomers and millennials.) but also for the sake of having less power-hungry individuals, and keeping the respect for office high while they serve, and also to limit the potential damage that they can do. I do realize that there may be some troubles, as consistency can be thrown to the wind in some ways, but I do think that it is important to have for the sake of our democracy.
