I've heard it said that if you are the kind of person who complains about there being too many elections, then you never really believed in democracy. The idea being that you can't have too much of it if you really do support it. Fact is, we have a local election going on today in which the leader of a political party resigned, thereby triggering the local election that he then campaigned to win. The man in question was hoping to win this new election by being seen as just a guy who is standing up to the establishment. Truth is, he's doing it as a gimmick. When people play games with democracy, it's not worth believing in.
