Reply #5: Term limits have locked the US into a system of permanent 24/7/365 political campaigning.

[Monk06]

Your politicians are campaigning for the next election the
day after the win the last. The corporate media and professional
corporate lobbyists are making out like bandits and bankrupting
your country and you are powerless to do anything about it, since
both Dems and Repugs dine at the same trough.

In Canada once an election is called, which could happen anytime a
government budget fails to pass, you have 90 days before the vote.

Political media companies would dearly wish that we had your system.

Glad we don't.
