…The crappy architecture of the Israeli political system is such that in the recent election, many people wanted Netanyahu to stay in power but still voted for Bennett or Lapid in the desire to strengthen and pressure Bibi to move left or right more to their liking.
I find this weird. It is a political system in which you don’t vote for the one you want to lead but his rival? This crummy system of voting for party lists only not only is not democratic, it perverts democratic thinking. It messes up the way people think about politics… |
