I can't imagine some politician I didn't like getting 3 terms. That would blow. That's 15 years.
Meanwhile in Germany: https://i.imgur.com/WuA8KtC.png
I didn't know that! Makes me think :) thanks
Long terms in office promote stability
*stagnancy, not stability
Which is, incidentally, exactly what happened both with Kohl and Merkel.
How did Germany stagnate between 2005 and 2021?
Is this question serious?
Lack of social reforms, lack of financial reforms, lack of infrastructure reforms, lack of energy reforms, the list goes on. All that was ever done was kicking the can down the road and here we are today.
It’s not like countries with term limits fared better on average
Maybe not, but I think it's overall better to have term limits than to be stuck with an asshole leader for 20+ years
Germany had a higher than average anual GDP growth (Europe), so yeah, the question was totally serious.
As serious as only caring about the economy can be, I suppose.
You said it stagnated, which it didn’t.
Don’t lie if you’re not prepared to face some head wind for it.
Putting words in my mouth won’t make your statement any more true.
Understandable, have a nice day.
