Constitutional constraints on electors: I\'ve thought about the potential to abuse CIR for a while, cam.

There is an easy set of solutions - constitutional amendments require the same level of support as Parliamentary invoked referenda (double majorities) and legislative changes must be approved by the High Court before a vote (raises questions about ordinary legislation no doubt).

All constitutional changes would require an election cycle to come into effect so that anyone adversely affected by this can leave the country in due time.

Set three year terms seem like the best we can do. Eight years is a very long term. Remember, Andrew Inglis Clark originally proposed three year Parliamentary terms for the House and three classes of Senators serving terms of three, six and and up to nine years.
