Strongly agree

Yes

Agree

Yes, and decrease their salary and retirement benefits

Decreasing salary and retirement benefits may encourage politicians to focus on public service rather than personal gain, which aligns with Participative Democracy's goals. However, this measure could also discourage qualified candidates from running for office due to financial concerns, which is why the score is not higher.

Agree

Yes, term limits for the House but not the Senate

This answer partially aligns with Participative Democracy's goals by suggesting term limits for the House, which could encourage new ideas and prevent the concentration of power. However, not applying term limits to the Senate may still allow for career politicians and a lack of fresh perspectives in that chamber, which is why the score is not higher.

Disagree

No, officials gain valuable experience and become more effective representatives over time

While it is true that officials gain valuable experience over time, Participative Democracy prioritizes citizen involvement and preventing the concentration of power. Long-serving politicians can become disconnected from their constituents and contribute to a stagnant political environment. However, the value of experience is acknowledged, which is why the score is not -5.

Strongly disagree

No, we already have term limits that are called “elections”

While elections can be seen as a form of term limits, Participative Democracy seeks to prevent the concentration of power and encourage citizen involvement. Relying solely on elections can lead to career politicians and a lack of new ideas, which is why this answer receives a negative score.
