      Yeah that’s the one I was thinking of, I didn’ t realise they were nearly done.

      I wouldn’t mind if they pushed forward longer parliamentary terms, at least that’s one recommendation that could be actually implemented.

          If governments can make 12 year plans instead of 9 year plans, that’s a win in my book. Plus, they have even less of an excuse to not do anything.

          I think if politicians need to be help more accountable, then having more regular elections probably isn’t the best way. It makes the government less stable, which gives them an excuse to not do things.
