  1. What's even more frustrating with our voting system is that it's so bad that it's the reason why the mandates are so short, because of the voting system essentially forcing division and alienation, mandates cannot be too long or a good portion of the population feels miserable. I believe that someone getting elected should at least get 10y as the head of the country he/she is leading. The truth is nobody can make meaningful changes in 4/5y, you barely start to see the effect of someone's decision after the 10y mark, which should be indefinitely renewable btw, as there is no reason to pass on a good leader even if it means the guy/gal stay for 30y as the president. Candidates shouldn't have a "program", they should have a vision and convince people that vision needs to be followed, this would lead to a way better political scene. Part of the reason politic is so bad this days is that you have to promise the world to people just to be noticed, you need to be sketchy, and appeal to the masses, lie and manipulate, you have to play a horrific game of demagogy and "move" and lie and deception, its just so bad. Whereas when you have 10y to do something, than you can relax and actually take the time to put your vision into action. Long term planning is essential for anyone to be successful. The most successful companies and countries don't plan for the next 5y, instead they have plan for the next 10, 25, 50y ahead of them because that's the kind of scale where a vision is essential.
