<div><br></div><div>Exactly the opposite is quite possible, actually. As has been pointed out already, large organizations can throw a new person into the election (or large groups of new people even) every time they lose one to term limits (it's not hard when you have 100,000 employees) - small orgs don't have the manpower to do this (they likely only have one person even qualified for the position). Hence term limits could actually help foster industry capture. <br>
