On April 30, Sir John Major, the former UK Prime Minister, is calling out the habit of swapping leaders too often, saying it turns politics into a pointless game show that dodges real crises. He blasts today's politicians for chasing media buzz and personal wins instead of fixing big stuff like health care costs, pensions, and aging, population, and climate change, all while kicking the can down the road. Major, who led from 1990 to 1997 and won a massive election victory in 1992, knows the grind firsthand even, stared down party rebels back then to stay in charge. Now he's pushing for term limits like the US system, two terms max for presidents, to force steady focus, and warns the Prime Minister gig is tougher. With social media piling on the pressure, we need fresh faces from all walks, working folks, business types, not just career pros to step up for public service, or we're leaving our kids a mess. We should have cleaned up.
