Too easy! You're shooting over a baited field. Term Limits. FWIW, I've heard most of the arguments for and against. Despite lucid arguments about thwarting the obvious will of the people I still think they are a good idea. Anything to break the stranglehold incumbent power blocks have on the reigns of government. A more active political contest might also revitalize a jaded electorate and get more people to care about participating in the governing of their country. It might also put a stranglehold on the special interests. They won't be able to keep anybody in office long enough to build the relationships that create questionable politics. Anything that makes government less efficient (and eliminating incumbents with their power bases is guaranteed to do at least that) advances the causes of freedom (maybe a little naive but it sounds good).
