re: #309 The Vicious Fergushka

Knesset MK’s do not represent districts, Israel is too small for that.

Israel has a totally fucked up political system with dozens of single-issue special-interest parties, and no party ever wins a majority. It is up to the party that wins a plurality to join up with as many of these single-issue parties in order to form a majority coalition.

I’ve tried to begin sorting out the parties before, but quickly gave up because of the constantly shifting coalitions, not to mention parties changing their names or being absorbed into other ones. It makes my brain hurt, heh.
