I guess you can think of 'none of the above' as a placebo candidate. To make that work, I think you'd also have to make the initial campaign shorter to account

I guess you can think of 'none of the above' as a placebo candidate.
To make that work, I think you'd also have to make the initial campaign shorter to account for runoffs and the possibility of having to start over with a new slate.
- gohrt 10y agoAnd here you see the problem in the US having a fixed inauguration date. In parliamentary countries, where the government can vote to dissolve itself, they tend to call for elections whenever the governing coalition is unstable, and elections can take as long as needed, and be re-held as needed.
- actuallyalys 10y agoTrue, although my main concern is that making elections take even longer will cause fewer people to pay attention and ultimately vote.
