It's almost like we shouldn't have campaign cycles that run for years at a time. I think most sane countries have their entire election season run the span of just a couple months.
Weeks. Europe does weeks.
Being Dutch I'd like to inform you that the leader of our current leading party never stops campaigning, always throwing one-liners everywhere and even tweeting from parliamentary debates.
I was mainly thinking of the French variation I read about. 2 weeks? As an American I’m mostly ignorant of European politics.
That's the official campaign time, but in France the likes of Marine Le Pen will also be looking for ways to make the news all the time.
