Our recent Presidential campaign cost billions of dollars. It may have been entertaining for some, but it proved to make a spectacle out of the country and our political figures.
If a politician needs more than two months to convince the electoral to vote for him or her, then he or she should not get our votes.
In Britain, Prime Minister Thatcher stated 'Three weeks is long enough' for elections. In Canada, the longest election was 74 days. In Australia, the average is 68 days.
Think of what our already elected officials could be doing instead of campaigning. Imagine if that money went to something useful for the country.
Stop the sideshow. Make it a law that no one can declare candidacy before six months before November.
