| Message | frequent elections make it difficult to: get actually work done since time must be spent on campaining, the newly elected learning the job. Make unpopular though desired/required changes and decisions. allow government programs time to get established, judged, and receive steady funding. |

| Random fact: Party candidates for head of state elections are not visible to the public. This means that you cannot see who will run and who will not, which adds another strategic element to the elections. |
