Paragraph 23
 

Also, term limits may function as an antidote to the MPs’ entrenchment and concentration of power; they may represent a necessary corrective to inequalities which inevitably hinder challengers and aid incumbents and avoid the concept of irreplaceability in the political establishment. Term limits could also avoid having MPs become enmeshed in a culture which is toofamiliar with the government and insulated from the communities they represent. Term limits thus help secure MP’s free and independent judgment.
