Strongly agree

Yes, term limits will increase performance and prevent corruption

This answer aligns closely with libertarian principles of preventing corruption and ensuring government officials remain accountable to the people. By arguing that term limits increase performance and prevent corruption, it suggests a mechanism for limiting government power and promoting efficiency, which are key libertarian values.

Agree

Yes

Libertarians generally support measures that can reduce government power and increase accountability. Term limits could be seen as a way to prevent career politicians from accumulating too much power, which aligns with libertarian values of limited government. However, the score is not a full 5 because libertarians also value the freedom of individuals to choose their representatives without arbitrary restrictions.

Agree

Yes, and decrease their salary and retirement benefits

Reducing salary and retirement benefits could be seen as a way to ensure that those seeking office are doing so for public service rather than personal gain, which aligns with libertarian ideals of government efficiency and reducing the size of government. However, the focus on financial aspects alone might not fully capture the broader libertarian perspective on term limits and government accountability.

Slightly agree

Yes, term limits for the House but not the Senate

This nuanced position might appeal to libertarians who see value in limiting the power of the House, which is more directly responsive to the electorate, while allowing for more continuity in the Senate. However, the arbitrary distinction might not fully align with libertarian principles of comprehensive government accountability and limiting power across all branches.

Disagree

No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time

Libertarians might acknowledge the value of experience in governance but are likely to be skeptical of the idea that long-term incumbency is the best or only way to achieve effective representation. The concern over the concentration of power and potential for corruption with long-term incumbency would temper any agreement with this statement.

Disagree

No

While libertarians value experience and expertise, the ideology's emphasis on limiting government power and preventing the concentration of power makes a blanket opposition to term limits less likely. The negative score reflects a disagreement with the idea that no term limits are needed, but it's moderated because libertarians also value the principle of electoral freedom.

Strongly disagree

No, we already have term limits that are called “elections”

Libertarians are likely to view the argument that elections are sufficient as term limits with skepticism. The ideology's emphasis on structural safeguards to prevent the concentration of power and ensure government accountability suggests a belief that additional mechanisms, like term limits, may be necessary to complement the electoral process.
