Because that would be weird.
I’m impressed at Awesome Roy’s thoughts here. He’s right in that another option does make people choose.. and there’ll be some year in which he might actually be the most seasoned candidate.
I think the last year he *was* the most seasoned candidate… Just not the one others would want it the position 🙂
A friend of mine once attended the general meeting of an association; upon learning that the director election is just a formality, with the guy who has been in charge since inception being the only candidate, said friend got indignant that it wasn’t really an election, and decided to run himself just for principle’s sake… The other guy pondered for some 10 seconds or so, and then just said, “know what, you get the job” — and so he did! Not exactly the outcome he was aiming for 😉
(I don’t think he minded; but he didn’t make friends while being in charge, and got replaced the next year…)
