| Summary: | Most parliamentary systems have endogenous election timing, where the Prime Minister is free to call for elections when he or she thinks it's appropriate to do so.

Smith demonstrates why leaders find it difficult to profit from their ability to call for elections, even when they are popular and face weak opposition. |
