Since absence of term limits is not quite working (we get career politicians) and challengers are at a disadvantage compared to incumbents, I think it's worth trying term limits. It gets us a bit closer to "demo + cracy".

If we can get new non-entrenched people in power maybe we'd see better governance --otherwise why not create a ruling class, if career politicians execute better? Note, I would not advocate for a ruling class but people seem to be saying people who know governance and politics govern better (presuming experience means they can get things done for their constituency).
