Problem is that without fame, fortune or previous influence/power it is close to imposible for new candidates to succeed

2018-07-07 04:22:25 UTC  

I dont agree with her policies but she did a good campaign

2018-07-07 04:22:54 UTC  

as it stands now yes, at least for the higher positions

2018-07-07 04:23:21 UTC  

Senates, Governors, and Pres.

2018-07-07 04:23:27 UTC  

House is easier

2018-07-07 04:23:51 UTC  

problem with house is that your individual terms are short

2018-07-07 04:24:14 UTC  

how long are they?

2018-07-07 04:24:20 UTC  

even if you have no limits to how many times you can be a rep your not in very long compared to the senate, etc.

2018-07-07 04:24:46 UTC  

"Members of the House of Representatives serve two-year terms and are considered for reelection every even year. Senators however, serve six-year terms and elections to the Senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection during any election."

2018-07-07 04:25:04 UTC  

only two years

2018-07-07 04:25:14 UTC  

should be longer imo so they can do more

2018-07-07 04:25:15 UTC  

Six year terms??

2018-07-07 04:25:17 UTC  

i had no idea

2018-07-07 04:25:33 UTC  

yea Senate is more prestigious so its longer

2018-07-07 04:25:43 UTC  

but 2 years for house fucks them over

2018-07-07 04:26:12 UTC  

makes no sense

2018-07-07 04:26:40 UTC  

thats why if term limits where implemented the House would get more terms while the Senate would still get longer ones to maintain prestige

2018-07-07 04:27:17 UTC  

this November we have Senate and House Elections

2018-07-07 04:27:33 UTC  

however not all Senators are up for election

2018-07-07 04:27:39 UTC  

In sweden the general elections are held every 4th year...
4 year terms, works quite ok

2018-07-07 04:27:49 UTC  

so some are just running elections for one incumbent

2018-07-07 04:28:36 UTC  

Pres has 4 year term and can only be Pres. for 2 terms

2018-07-07 04:29:00 UTC  

Supreme Court Justices are in for life

2018-07-07 04:29:04 UTC  

or retirement

2018-07-07 04:29:17 UTC  

we have no term limits and no president. The natinal parliament elects the primeminister after a general election is held

2018-07-07 04:29:31 UTC  

Luckily our Constitution prevents shit like what Putin does in Russia

2018-07-07 04:30:01 UTC  

parliamentary "representative" democracy is yours i think

2018-07-07 04:30:16 UTC  

yes

2018-07-07 04:30:24 UTC  

however we are also a monarchy

2018-07-07 04:30:33 UTC  

We are called a republic and democracy interchangably

2018-07-07 04:30:42 UTC  

so like the UK?

2018-07-07 04:30:48 UTC  

but in difference to the UK the swedish monarch holds no power

2018-07-07 04:30:55 UTC  

ah

2018-07-07 04:31:04 UTC  

UKs holds very little

2018-07-07 04:31:14 UTC  

so yours is entirely ceremonial?

2018-07-07 04:31:19 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-07 04:31:33 UTC  

can they run for office?

2018-07-07 04:31:36 UTC  

Alot of taxmoney for some cermonies and representation though

2018-07-07 04:31:37 UTC  

no

2018-07-07 04:31:39 UTC  

k

2018-07-07 04:31:52 UTC
