If the country elected a person who turns out to make the country better in almost every way, why would you want a term limit for a person like that? It's likely that the next person in ruins all of the progress in just a few short years and then we'd be back to square one. I wouldn't think a dictatorship would be good in any way even if the person you elect is a great leader, but something down the middle of dictatorship and democracy would be perfect. That said, I don't think there's a limit for how many terms a person can sit here in Norway, but I know there is a limit elsewhere.

Say that this person really helped out the poor, but was also a huge racist who ended up demoting many people based on their race. Some people be happy with that, others wouldn't. The term limits thing exists because even if the vast majority of the country likes a douchebag(or the votes are forged), the douche can't rule forever.

The betterment of people doesn't necessarily equate to people being happy or content.

I know it's incredibly unlikely to find someone who everybody likes, but in that rare occurrence shouldn't there be a possibility of bypassing the term limit? I know that basically makes it a dictatorship, but it wouldn't be an indefinite status.

If farmers are having their crop yield increased, but at the cost of destroying the houses of poor people, does it count as betterment?

I don't know that much about the typo our government anyway.
