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 :) )
EDIT : Need not Name
I think it was about a week in the UK when they had to form a coalition and everyone was thoroughly sick of hearing about it by then. Normally it’s next day.
My American colleague is envious of us and the French just getting the election over with instead of spending an entire year campaigning.
