A real positive change would be introducing term limits.

Term limits will never happen. The province has already said that they will not allow it. Besides that there may be constitutional implications to prohibiting a citizen from running for office. It's undemocratic and unnecessary as far as I am concerned. If someone votes for the same person over and over again that is their right whether opponents like it or not. Punishing winners is not what we do in a democracy.
