So Israel will be having its third election in a year with yet another vote scheduled for March 2, 2010. Two elections in April and September have not resulted in coalition governments for an array of reasons.
While taking three elections to determine the government of the day isn't optimal some perspective is in order. At least Israelis get to vote. The Palestinians haven't voted since 2006. That's going on 14 years folks. Mahmoud Abbas' term in office expired a decade ago, but he shows no signs of leaving office. I'd rather have too many elections than none at all.
