Recently I've been thinking there should be a term limit for PMs/Chancellors
Tatcher, Merkel, Putin - if they would have a 10 year limit, things would be much better.

Putin has “updated” term limits several times. For the UK and Germany, this makes sense, however.
If he would choose to leave after 2 terms, he would be a positive figure in Russian history. Now, he will be responsible for the collapse of the Russian Federation.
History shows us that term limits mainly stop those who'd play by the rules from getting re-elected. The guys who couldn't care less about the rules? They'll just whip up a new law to extend their stay in power.
Putin being the prime example.
