I read a quote somewhere that said democracy does nothing to promote good leadership. The point of democracy isn't to elect a good government, the point is to quickly get rid of a bad government

The multi-year terms still lets bad governments do a lot of damage though, and they have to be pretty bad to actually be removed for good.

Perhaps it would be better to pick the government at random and then have much more frequent votes with the only choice being whether to pick a new random government or not.
