If anyone is at a post, the only good reasons they should leave that post is if they get a higher post, if they are of retirement age or if they are being relieved of the post as a sort of punishment for a misdemeanour or inadequacy. Any other reason is really not good enough.


This is the reason why we have people like President Paul Biya of Cameroon, President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, President Vladimir Putin of Russia, Late Moammar Ghaddafi of Libya, President Yahaya Jammeh of Gambia, President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus and etc etc. Those listed are not declared monarchies, there are still monarchies in Africa, Europe and etc, the DPRK, Democratic Republic of Korea or North Korea is also more or less a monarchy with President Kim Jong Un as the monarch.


Why do people stay on forever at a post? Take Arsene Wenger of Arsenal FC as an example. He is a football coach, a team manager who has been Arsenal FC manager for well over a decade! Some will say he tried while majority will say there is nothing really to show for his time, they may opine that his results do not justify his wages and etc. I hope we can all see a parallel between Mr Arsene Wenger and all those we consider sit tight rulers?. Only difference is that we know that Mr Wenger is not forcing himself on Arsenal FC as a manager!. He is just a wage earner! Not much different from the team members who play the football. The decision makers are the owners of Arsenal FC represented by a board directing the club's affairs.


When you ask a man like President Mugabe why he is still President after decades, he will answer 'Dont you think it amounts to cowardice if I resign voluntarily from a job I am passionate about and I do that without a reasonable cause?, the best I can do is to conduct transparent elections!'. Wont he be right?. He definitely would be right and thesame applies to all the others viewed as sit tight rulers! Only that some of them force themselves on the people, they kill and etc to have their way. That sometimes is a difference.

CONCLUSION

Ethically, there is nothing wrong in removing term limits in a liberal democracy and there is nothing wrong in discontinuing the system of universal adult suffrage and general elections if government positions are reduced to what the post of Arsenal manager is under the owners of Arsenal FC. If there is one party in a nation ruled with a binary rule by a high powered unremunerated committee made up of hundreds of highest ranking citizens who are seasoned workers and elders, these elders choose the workers on the government board and rule them!, then there no longer will be a need for term limits, general elections or universal adult suffrage. You vote only in unions you belong to and you will not have to belong to any union.


THAT WILL BE A THEOCRACY. A BUSINESS LIKE STATE UNDER GOD USING ONLY ONE RULE 'NEVER DO EVIL'. IT ALSO IS A DEMOCRACY BECAUSE IT IS A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE BANKROLLED DIRECTLY BY THE PEOPLE. YOU CAN ALSO PUT WORKERS IN PLACE OF PEOPLE.
