Elections!

Why is it that we need elections every two years?
While dictatorships (our neighbors for example) hold elections every 4 or 5 years in which the same leader is chosen again and again, democracies hold elections every 4 or 5 years in which either the same party or the opposition party may win.
So where does it put Israel with elections every 2 years?
Is it an ultra-democratic state? I guess not. This is not the issue.

Israel just can't make up its own mind. The desire for peace is distrupted by war, and so is the desire for war. Most of the thinking, of both politicians and voters is very much concentrated on the near future. For politiancs, that's an pbvious one. But voters? aren't they worried about their children and grandchildren? Don't they even care about their own pension?

This is the problem with a young democratic state - too many unsettled issues, and every day a different one comes to mind and tops the national agenda. Kadima was supposed to bring some stability into the system, being a "center" party. Failing to win the next elections will bring about many more years of political, and probably regional, instability.

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to
start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
