If the pm is doing very well serving his/her countrymen. Why give a limit. Good governance shouldn't be stop by "politics".
@B4NLFDF3 days3D
No, parties choose their own leader. The voter's in the leader's riding will decide if they want that person to be their MP.
@B2BM93X3mos3MO
Limited to two terms every 20 years. So you can be Prime Minister for 8 years in a row, and must wait 12 years. Or do 4 years, lose an election or two, do another 4, and wait until 20 years from your first election to be able to run again.
@9FNMVTQ2yrs2Y
i believe that the prime minister should be able to stay as long as everyone is ok with the current prime minister, but it there are 10s of thousands of people or even millions, protesting against the prime minister, then i believe that a federal election, should be held to elect a new prime minister, if the prime minister is re- elected, then so be it.
@9FJS26V2yrs2Y
Yes, but I believe a single leader is too much power for any individual it should be more people.
@9QZCYDN9mos9MO
Voters don't get to really choose who the party elect nominates as the PM, so if people want the party in but want a different leader they're screwed. I think a term limit of 2 terms like the US, maximum 3, would be good. If there aren't any term limits, then people should get more say on if the PM gets to stay or not
@9H6FWSC1yr1Y
Yes, limited to one term but the representative (Prime Minister) can be elected again. Should implement more protection/defences to stop election fraud or voter rigging.
@95J9PCR3yrs3Y
No, but maximum term durations should be lowered.
@8ZX3GXZConservative3yrs3Y
No, but introduce recall elections, and resignation elections.
@8ZSJL5B3yrs3Y
No, term limits would never work.
@8ZMQ2YFConservative3yrs3Y
I if they committed a crime during their time in office
@8ZCCBZ43yrs3Y
Yes, unless we actually eventually see electoral reform
@8XNB9Y3Conservative3yrs3Y
Yes, and limited to two terms and not allowed to call for an early election.
@8XLDM4Q3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if Fascists like Maxime Bernier becomes Prime Minister.
@8XCDZYT3yrs3Y
No, term limits violate democratic rights, if someone is popular and supported, let them run as long as they are able.
Yes, two terms! And two or three terms for senators and MPs as well!
@8W7V43C4yrs4Y
No, voters should decide how long they stay in office, however there should be an age limit.
Abolish the westminster system. Direct democracy
@8TX5JVB4yrs4Y
Yes, there should be a limit of 2 - 4 terms, but voters should still be allowed to vote each term
@8TW3ML24yrs4Y
How could this even be a question for citizens to answer? We’re all different, definitely not “ voters should decide” .. we get the chance to vote. Imagine how bad that could get ..
@8TRPMHX4yrs4Y
I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion
@8TPNBJ34yrs4Y
Yes, but only for left wing politicians.
@8SJC9WG4yrs4Y
Yes, but the federal government shouldn't even exist
@8RLF9F54yrs4Y
It's up to the candidate how long they want to Prime Minister for.
@firozsasi4yrs4Y
No limit if PM is doing a good work. The 5 year term should be increased to ten years.
@8Q8T3MGConservative4yrs4Y
No, keep the current amount of terms
@8PYXCGL4yrs4Y
No, their term should be up to the voters and the parliament, but they should serve two terms and wait 4 years until running again.
@8PPRN77New Democratic4yrs4Y
No, this isn't necessary in a parliamentary system. A Prime Minister does not have the same level of executive power as a President does in a presidential system.
@8PL5D964yrs4Y
The term should take effect when a prime minister is over the age of 80.
@8PJMGYM4yrs4Y
YES! Absolutely! Two terms for four years each! For the Prime Minister, MPs, Senate!
@8P4P98S4yrs4Y
No, institute a life-term, but require confidence of the Parliament.
@8KLHHQY4yrs4Y
No, make it a life tariff in office.
@8HDGVYC5yrs5Y
No, make it a whole life service. With retirement eligibility should they please, but mandate they run every 7 years.
@8D4X4PW5yrs5Y
No, make it lifetime commission
@9CHCXXY2yrs2Y
Yes, and abolish snap elections (just like Norway).
@99BZWYD2yrs2Y
Voters should decide how long they stay, but there should also be an option for the public to trigger a recall election or confidence vote if they wish.
@995WHT52yrs2Y
Yes, and they should have at least a four year break before being able to run again unless the people vote against it.
@995K8HS2yrs2Y
No one should have power over others
@98HT6QD2yrs2Y
Yes, two terms maximum, and the should be voted for by the people of Canada not the political party that won the election.
@97T4JZCConservative2yrs2Y
Yes, either two terms or a longer one term
@8SHNHYV4yrs4Y
No, make it a life term.
@8DC736T5yrs5Y
No, institute a lifetime term, but require them to run every 4 years for re-election and allow removal from office via recalls if showing ineffectiveness or any other malignant behaviour
@3CKD7SK4yrs4Y
No, but there should be more control over the powers of the PM. And Omnibus bills a la the USA should be disallowed. No more tucking bad policies into otherwise good bills. And Party Solidarity has turned into and Oligarchy with Harper. There should be more freedom for MP's to put forth their opposing or differing views on issues without being banned from any say in the government. Allow more free votes and differing opinions within the same party.
