No, but decrease salary and retirement benefits to be more inline with average wage, so they truly know what it’s like to live like those they serve.
@9M8CT847mos7MO
Yes, there is one term for Prime minister. The prime minister will hold the title for 2-4 years until the public decides whether they want to change or keep the Prime minister, which will go for another 2-4 years and repeat it.

Senators should be representatives of us, not chosen by the party. If this is the case, there should not be a term limit on the people's demands.
@92TP7CJ3yrs3Y
No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time, decrease their retirement benefits.
