As an American, that doesn’t sound worse. It sounds wonderful. A two month campaign means that we could focus on something else for the rest of many, if not most, years.
Also would make it just a tiny bit more difficult for big money to be able to influence the election as easily.
Hell, gimme a 1 month campaign season with two weeks of preview, for the candidates to declare their candidacy before the month of campaigns. I have enough time in 1 month to research the available candidates, make my decision, and mail my ballot back to Sacramento.
A lot of people would consider that good…not worse. Like the UK has a cap on the amount of money and time that some campaigns can be. That allows candidates who aren’t flooded with money to have more of a chance at actually being elected. It helps make the formation of a two party system run by the Koch brothers less likely…
Things being worse don’t make that good, though. Whatever, I’m not going to change world politics over here but I still think it’s all kinda fucked.
