Norway here. Election campaigns are usually around a month, and they’re almost fully focused on parties and their platforms, as opposed to the representatives themselves.
Kind of, yeah. We vote for parties, and the parties (yes, plural) with the most votes build a coalition that have enough of the votes between them to form a government. And the head honchos like prime minister and similar, are usually the party leaders. If they were to die or quit or whatever, the government agrees on a replacement.
