You’re Not Depressed, You’re Living The Wrong Life - Jimmy Carr
"Appealing to your constituency. You'd be appealing to the center. 90% of people agree about 90% of everything. And then I would have term limits for senators and Congress because I don't blame Donald Trump for being powerful. I blame the checks and balances for not checking and balancing."
Jimmy Carr argues US elections incentivise polarisation and proposes open primaries for Congress, Senate and the presidency to push candidates towards the political centre. He also backs term limits for Congress, saying checks and balances have failed to restrain presidential power.
