    All are problems which inhibit a fair election. All are difficult to change to. None of the problem are fixed by placing a hard limit on terms.

    And not to you directly, but I got a lot of downvotes on my post, and yet nothing rebutting it. This is why we’re stuck here. As an American I’ll say that it’s so American to just sit it out and hope next time things will be better.

      I guess nobody’s really interested in quibbling over which reforms are correct and desirable when it seems like, politically, none of them are on the table for the foreseeable future anyway. We’ll talk turkey after the Nuremberg trials, yeah?

      But for what it’s worth, I take your point. It’s a hard sell during the decade everyone learned the word ‘gerontocracy’ all of a sudden, though. Sentiment is against the older generations, and not entirely without cause.
