Looking at France panicking because 2 weeks after snap election there isn’t a clear majority, nor a coalition ready to propose a prime-minister to the president. What would be the standard time to do these negotiations in a functional democracy where doing coalition is common but doesn’t take years (so US and Belgium do not coun :) )

    Here in the Netherlands we tried to beat the Belgians several times, but those guys are real pros. When this government falls, we’ll be sure to take another crack at it!

    Forming a government and dividing up all the tasks takes about 100 days on average, with 299 days as our record since the second world war. Nothing like Belgium 541 days, but still depressingly slow.
