That’s one of those general election issues where they only pull out of storage just before the general election. Like gay rights, abortion, wages. And fold them up neatly and stow them away until the next general election.

    That would be great if true.

    The only time you get a say is in the primary. After that, with FPTP voting, you only get to vote against the worst candidate. By that point, there’s no improving the selection.

    And they don’t hold primaries for incumbents.

      Every candidate should be primaried especially incumbents. Why should they be entitled to keep a job they may not deserve to keep? Every president should be 1 and done, no second term
