If governments can make 12 year plans instead of 9 year plans, that's a win in my book. Plus, they have even less of an excuse to not do anything.
I think if politicians need to be help more accountable, then having more regular elections probably isn't the best way. It makes the government less stable, which gives them an excuse to not do things.
Do places with 5 years terms typically still get 3 terms? It's hard to imagine a country not getting bored with the ruling party after 10 years.
Interesting! Do you think the current 3 years is a good middleground?
Do you know the reasoning behind the recommendation? presumably they looked at these impacts.
Maybe we should have yearly elections, so we can have lists of things to do in the first 100 days, then Christmas, then back to campaigning for the next election. Might get more done 😆
