Sep 03rd, 2014 - 11:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0God seven months to drag out the process. How very American.
Sep 03rd, 2014 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm so glad that we don't have a president and have to put up with that farce every several years. Our GG was announced in Jan 28th and 2 months later he started the job.
No need for millions of dollars to run an election over 7 months-or billions in the US.

It might not be the best process or solution but it's the only one I know to asure the continuity of the democratic process.
Otherwise Videla, Galtieri, Pinochet, Francisco Franco can end ruling countries.
I hope that the Argentine people elect the government they deserve.

Sep 03rd, 2014 - 08:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They will get the government they deserve alright: another bunch of Peronista crooks with a new “Model”, same as the old model but with a bigger slice of graft.
You KNOW I am correct, don't you?
Argentina's future is on the balance. I hope that lefty turd Solanas dies of a heart attack or somebody kill him.

We don't spend money on a process that takes 7 months. So I guess we just have a more cost efficient democracy.

Sep 04th, 2014 - 02:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0I don't need to do some research to understand that Australia is quite a good democracy. It's a great country, no doubt about that. Most of the territories of the British Crown are good democracies, some of them are independent countries.
But in Republics, and in not so well evolved democracies, these kind of processes usually take half a year. Is still much better than a tyranny

Sep 05th, 2014 - 07:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am not so sure you have done much research. In UK yes the party conferences are held at the before the beginning of the Autumn term but the serious campaigning does not begin till the PM requests the queen to dissolve Parliament. Then the serious work begins and after 17 working days the election happens. If the parties have a fund of more than a few mill I'd be surprised.
As far as my unserstanding goes, Aus, NZ and Can still have the monarch as head of state but are independent and there is usually no need for Westminster to interfere. Although Steven Harper (the Canadian PM) did dissolve parliament over some issue (memories a bit hazy) and handed the problem to the Queens government.
let us see what Singer unearths on her corrupt business dealings before taking bets on the next election..
