Yes, but who's pushing for this control? I agree that both are terrible. I'd love to see all upper levels of politics become limited terms, without the option to just jump from one to the other. Once you've spent some time, 2 terms maybe, in a position of high political influence (national level, local councils are a different beast), you're out of national politics entirely. Get rid of the career politician, and hunt down the ones that take "gifts" from corporate interests ruthlessly.
