The responses noted that a ban on legislative re-election is not very common. The prohibition of re-election, such as in Mexico, may MEAN that parliamentarians have to leave shortly after warming up to the parliamentary process. It was also mentioned that a parliament can fall short of capacity and effective continuity in its processes with such practices.Further, the link was made between ‘legislative re-election’ and ‘recall’, the latter being in use for example in California and being considered in several Canadian provinces. It was pointed out that good GOVERNANCE may be adversely affected if the use of recalls increases instability of elections and mandates. Similarly it was mentioned that continuity and STABILITY is an essential element of building leadership within the ranks of political parties, looking towards fostering future TOP level leaders. A contributor noted that the term 'legislative re-election' does not convey which of the forms of re-election is being referred to. For instance, national presidential re-election is controlled by legislation in countries such as Kenya, Mexico and the USA, and while the lower level legislature in the USA has a more limited two-year term, they together with many others including Bosnia and HERZEGOVINA and Kenya, have no limitations as to the number of terms one can serve.Thanks for the question. Hope it helps you.
