National leaders are most likely to undertake reforms early in a new government. National leaders who immediately respond to problems upon taking office should be given enough time to succeed at solving them. National leaders who stay in power too long tend to deny responsibility for problems that they could have dealt with earlier. National leaders should be removed from office every few years by the voting in of new leaders.
Pundit: It is good to have national leaders voted out of office after a few years. The reason is that reforms are generally undertaken early in a new government. If leaders do not act quickly to solve a problem and it becomes an issue later, then they must either deny that there is a problem or deny that anything could have been done about it; otherwise, they will have to admit responsibility for the persistence of the problem.
