Would that be a bad thing?

I would love an election that was simply an announcement of the election date and a website to see the candidates and their politics. The only campaigning would then be the government campaigning to get people to vote.

If you want to have elections, yes. If you prefer hereditary monarchy, then you'd be fine.
