@rysiek There is no law that demands an election before the maximum 5-year term is up.

@rysiek @mansr you don't need a law, you need coalitions. No coalition would have survived that.

@csddumi @rysiek I've long been of the opinion that coalition/minority governments are preferable.

@mansr @rysiek could it be that the one week deadline was set by the King? And that if no leader is appointed by then, that there'll be a reelection. He had to do something to limit this chaos and avoid the possibility of having a prime minister who doesn't have the support of the commons.
