cutting down elections

MK Oded Furer (Yisrael Beyteynu) wants to quickly pass a law changing the election period from 90 days down to 60 days, considering all the recent elections makes 90 days really unnecessary.

Personally, I would suggest cutting it down to 30 days, since anyway 80% of the campaigning is done in the final two weeks before elections. Even 30 days is more than enough time for the politicians to prepare.

As well, as part of any reform, they should do away with the final 21 days of coalition forming. If two months was not enough, the 21 days seems unnecessary to me and just more wasted time.

Too bad it is likely other MKS wont cooperate with Furer and push the law through. Right now his party, Yisrael Beyteynu, is the one everyone will want to punish...
