Once elections are fixed (made fair) term limits could be bad - it's possible that good people will need longer than a fixed term to raise the next generation, or finish projects of importance, and with free elections why force them out? any corruption could be voted out in secure elections so that is less of a worry. The problem has not been term limits but fraudulent voting keeping people in even when they are terrible.

I agree. Elected officials should not have term limits. If the people want them in office indefinitely, so be it, as long as the elections are fair, transparent, and held regularly.
And the voting public are well informed enough to make sound decisions about candidates and issues. Plus, a much larger % of the voting base so voting becomes a true plurality.
