Those elections were for the West Bank too. They decided to stop holding elections because Israel blocked them from taking their place. At that point, why have elections?

There are local elections in the West Bank. There aren't national elections because holding a national election in the West Bank only would be an admission that Gaza is a separate territory from the West Bank, so there would no longer be just one Palestine.

Well yeah, because West Bank is still controlled by the party Hamas beat in elections. The party that was beat because they're an Israeli puppet.
