The only way things will change is is term limits are put in place so that people are forced to vote for someone else or if something very bad happens and out of it a different type of leader or party emerges. Short of that we will continue this cycle for a while.
In Europe, politicians are overwhelmingly for the EU. The majority of people are very anti. The UK is the first to vote OUT, there will be more. If Governments don't offer referendums, the people will change the Governments.

If only America was that democratic and the land of the free and brave.

The saddest part is people think Rand Paul is a solution.
