Debate Over Term Limits Gains Momentum in U.S.

During the festive period, Isle of Man politicians will remain active despite the House of Keys' break until January, with Minister David Ashford noting many will have busy schedules. In Canada, the debate over implementing term limits for politicians continues, with contrasting views on the benefits of experience versus the need for fresh ideas. Meanwhile, a study revealed that many older Americans regret career decisions, highlighting issues like age discrimination and the challenges of finding work after layoffs, especially for those without a college degree. In Australia, there is a push to extend the federal parliamentary term beyond the current average of just over two years, which critics argue is too short for effective governance. Additionally, a significant majority of Americans support term limits across various political affiliations, pointing to bipartisan concern over long-serving politicians. This growing discourse suggests a nationwide recognition of the potential stagnation caused by entrenched political leadership.
