Does anyone else agree with me that Israel is one of the worse places where straight PR could possibly be used? Just the luck of everyone involved that straight PR is used.
Just needs a higher threshold. 5% would at least keep the uber-loonies out.
We're in agreement. The Israelis need to borrow a lesson from the Germans...it took a pre-existing party framework, a split in one of the large parties, and a large protest vote for the Left Party to become viable in Germany. It should take fairly large disruptions to make important political parties.
