> Germany being a parliamentary democracy, there's no limit on chancellor terms.

Average CDU (conservative) Chancellor Term: 10.4 years - with three of them around the three-term mark.

Average SPD (socialdemocrat, including the current one) Chancellor Term: 6.7 years (not including the current one)

Germany is a conservative country, things take time, actions take decades, and chances are the next, conservative government will gut them (look up what happened to Germany's solar panel industry).

Germany solar industry killed itself. It was run by greedy subsidy collectors that cried for anti-dumping tariffs once they realized they were out produced by Asian manufacturers (and out funded by Chinese state backed banks). Germany did help to propel the solar manufacturing industry to what it is today so.
