Should term limits be set for the role of Prime Minister?

If the pm is doing very well serving his/her countrymen. Why give a limit. Good governance shouldn't be stop by "politics".

If we switch to proportional representation then no

Yes, people should have a special vote that can be summoned at any time to fire the Prime Minister if Canadians find he's not doing a good job. Only if 70% or more vote in favor of removing the PM would it result in him being forced to step down, but the party is still in charge until the next real election. However, if the PM won his last election by 40% or more of the popular vote, then this vote cannot take place or have effect.

Yes, limited to one term but the representative (Prime Minister) can be elected again. Should implement more protection/defences to stop election fraud or voter rigging.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than four times with mandate duration of 2 years, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than one year of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times.

i believe that the prime minister should be able to stay as long as everyone is ok with the current prime minister, but it there are 10s of thousands of people or even millions, protesting against the prime minister, then i believe that a federal election, should be held to elect a new prime minister, if the prime minister is re- elected, then so be it.

Yes, but I believe a single leader is too much power for any individual it should be more people.

Limit terms. Canadian leaders get dictator like when in power for too long.

Yes, as it's a way of keeping new people in power. But it should also be long enough as they have an ability to actually see progress being made.

I was astonished to learn that Canada does not have a limit on the amount of terms a PM can sit as the head of our country. I strongly feel that like our neighbour to the south, two, four year terms not necessarily back to back should be the limit

Yes, and abolish snap elections (just like Norway).

I would say yes, because it helps keep people who seek to do ill only in power for so long. I would also say that it should be three terms as well.

Yes, but only if the prime minister has been ineffective or corrupt

No. The Head of State should be an inherited/bestowed position ala an absolute monarchy.

Voters should decide how long they stay, but there should also be an option for the public to trigger a recall election or confidence vote if they wish.

Yes, and they should have at least a four year break before being able to run again unless the people vote against it.

No one should have power over others

Yes, two terms maximum, and the should be voted for by the people of Canada not the political party that won the election.

I think we should have term limits, for the sake of the generational power that can be held by some generations (such as the baby boomers and millennials.) but also for the sake of having less power-hungry individuals, and keeping the respect for office high while they serve, and also to limit the potential damage that they can do. I do realize that there may be some troubles, as consistency can be thrown to the wind in some ways, but I do think that it is important to have for the sake of our democracy.

Yes, either two terms or a longer one term

I would say no, as my inclination is to say the voters should say how long a certain person is in office. But, at the same time there are some really dangerous people who could be in power for a long time (ex. Donald Trump like-politicians) if we don't have term limits, so I would say that we should be open to it as a form of keeping bad people out of office who wish to do ill, but it also keeps good people from being able to do more with their leadership as well.

I think it’s effective in the United States 2 terms of 4 years each.

No, but maximum term durations should be lowered.

I would personally say no, but if it were to happen I wouldn't be against it as there are some career politicians who do last very long as representatives.

Psychology, yes. But it would be an exception if they lived as a minimum wage citizen

Yes, and limited to zero terms

Abolish the westminster system. Direct democracy

Yes, but voters should decide how long they stay in office if their full terms are up.

Yes, but only for left wing politicians.

Elections should be every 18 month’s

There should be some kind of system in place to avoid bad prime ministers staying in power

No, but introduce recall elections, and resignation elections.

No, term limits would never work.

I if they committed a crime during their time in office

Yes, unless we actually eventually see electoral reform

It depends on the Prime Minister

No, term limits violate democratic rights, if someone is popular and supported, let them run as long as they are able.

Yes, two terms! And two or three terms for senators and MPs as well!

No, voters should decide how long they stay in office, however there should be an age limit.

Limited to 4 terms

Yes, there should be a limit of 2 - 4 terms, but voters should still be allowed to vote each term

How could this even be a question for citizens to answer? We’re all different, definitely not “ voters should decide” .. we get the chance to vote. Imagine how bad that could get ..

I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion

YES! Absolutely! Two terms for four years each! For the Prime Minister, MPs, Senate!

Unless they change the current voting system to reflect the people, then yes. If they change it to a proportional rep. then no.

No, institute a life-term, but require confidence of the Parliament.

no, however they should be required to re-run the same as any other election
