Wait a minute! Does it mean that if the President dissolve the Parlamīnt earlier, the newly electiected parlamīnt doesn't live 6 months but it's dissolved in may and in september as well??
I think this is a system neither fair nor democratic... The newly elected parlamīnt may be seen as a "provisional" parlamīnt where not important issues are approved because it has the function to led the country towards the "regular" parlamīnt. This system introduce a dangerous classification in Premier-Parlamīnt and Secondary-Parlamīnt. We should provide that EVERY Parlamīnt if is not dissolved earlier, has to live 6 months, even if it's mean that the general election are in november or in april...
