Yes to a four year term please. Our politicians are too short sighted.Â
Think about infrastructure, think about productivity, think about immigration settings, basically take your pick at any long term problem in this country.Â
We need longer terms.Â
Yes, it will suck if it's not the party that you like in at the time that it's introduced, but it needs to happen for the better of the country, doesn't it?Â
The government's looking at this because it is in the coalition agreements with both Act and New Zealand First.Â
There's no strict timings in those coalition agreements, but on Friday, Luxon was talking to a Bloomberg Q and A and seemed to indicate that we might have a referendum on this at the next election.Â
It's a no brainer, we have big problems in short terms in this country.Â
The big question is who will get the first one? Will it be that lot, will it be your lot?Â
Those are the big questions, and also will it be a binding referendum? Which is what New Zealand first is pushing for.Â
I say just do it, get it done.Â
