There's already a problem in countries with limited terms for elected officials where the bureaucrats provide the consistency between election cycles. My sister, an attorney, once suggested that term limits - despite their benefit - have (at least) one undesirable side affect: the continuation of predictable government is almost entirely in the hands of the bureaucrats. Is was on her observation that I based my answer. | |

This seems like it might be true for some politicians (the ones who could demonstrate extreme competence in order to rise to the top of the Civil Service). | |
| Jun 18 at 2:05 | comment | added | JBH | @Shimbo The question is "what would happen to the kind of people who in our world become politicians?" My answer: they'd all become bureaucrats because [insert critique of constitution here]. You sure I didn't answer the question? | |
| Jun 17 at 16:38 | comment | added | Shimbo | I'm not sure how this answers the question? It seems like a critique of the world's constitution? | |
