>>It's always seemed daft to me, this 8 year limit on power, and, indeed, the automatic 4 years of staying in power. Here a PM can be elected as many times as she can win, but equally can be ousted mid-5-year-term.
Well Bush wasn't even elected originally, remember. And the additional ability to oust the leader mid-term, as over here, is one safeguard against this :-)
