Talk:List of political term limits
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My wiki skills need some work. I'm a big fan of term limits and would like to see how they very around the world.
Thanks for contributing.

There. Properly wikified so that everybody doesn't think I'm an idiot.
Politicans are like diapers. They have to be changed often and for the same reason.

Aren't Canadian Prime Minister term limits set at 5 years? NorthernThunder 14:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
The PM must call for elections within a five year time period at his or her own choosing. Because it is not a legally set date but rather an indefinate period it is not called a term limit. As long as there is a majority in parliament that supports the PM, he or she can stay forever (if eternal youth is discovered).--Countakeshi 11:28, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is true, but like Australia, Lt. Governors and Governors General have an unofficial 5-year limit, though terms have been extended beyond that in the past. e.g. Adrienne Clarkson Snickerdo 06:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
