The rule in political negotiation is NEVER give away something of value without getting something in return.
Given that once the politicians have decided 4 year terms is what they want, the rest will be inevitable. So slow them down a little - start asking for something in return.
Here's two things to add to that list:
1. Voter veto on important legislation.
2. The ability to "vote out" a Minister, particularly a list MP.
Let's remind MPs they were put there to serve us and be accountable to us. A four year term makes them less accountable. We should get something in return.
