Term Limits bill taken to Parliament,

[Willi]

Here my proposal.

A person can get sworn in as PM ongly 2 times. Argument done. Mi nuh care bout how long (or short) dem serve in the 2 terms, as long as it dont exceed the 5 years and 3 months.

[Baddaz]

i am for term limits but not in our present westminister system of government... in fact, i cannot think of any system of government such as our where there are term limits for prime ministers... i could be wrong...

i would advocate first changing the system of govt... make the country a republic where anyone qualified can be elected president... then we should have term limits... a major issue with the current system, we are not getting the very best people to lead the country...

[Willi]

Republic dont mean we scrap the Westminster system.

Look at Guyana and TnT, for example.

[Baddaz]

thanks willi... does guyana still have a prime minister... those are but only two examples... i need to see and know a little more...

i'd much prefer where anyone who is qualified can be the president similar to the usa... then term limits...

[Willi]

Most former Brit colonies that are republics have parliaments with PMs like say Kenya, Naja, India, etc. Some like RSA, go the Presi route.

[Assasin]

this is no rocket science. This is something Bruce Golding has been talking about since his days with NDM.

The PNP has never talked about TERM LIMITs in any form. I even wonder if many in the JLP really support it. They may have gotten fraid since a lot of youngster popping up on them.

[Mosiah]

The PM position for me is not the problem. It is the parliamentarians who are there for 300 years! We need limits for those!

[Assasin]

You think the dinasour them want it??? LOL.

Maybe you will have a third party then. Retired Dinasour Party

all you need is transparency

[1of1]

they just need to split up the power base

[Willi]

Well, as the PM is a parliamentarian as well, yuh kill 2 bird wid one stone.

MPs should get a 4 term limit with a forced vacation after the 2nd term of at least one election cycle.

[Willi]

Just as important is sharing the power among a wider base of people. Too incestuous at the moment.

Instead of a pool of 500 people to choose from, we should be considering among 10 thousand people.

[1of1]

yep!
