Is there motivation to change the electoral system? Examining issues that influence the instability of the Israeli political system

There are major difficulties in the Israeli electoral system, resulting in instability of the political system. The county is a parliamentary democracy with a proportional representation electoral system, which is experiencing an unprecedented political crisis with five general elections in only four years. The relevance of Israeli politics to research of electoral systems demonstrates the political influence of small and minority parties over the large and general ruling parties in a proportional system. The structure of the electoral system is since Israel is a society that was built and made up largely of immigrants from different countries and the desire of the country's founders to allow equal representation to all segments of society. The research examines the main issues that influence the instability of the political system and can serve as a case study to other societies that are facing issues that have long been familiar to the Israeli public. As demonstrated in this study, although the proportional political system is based on the principle that the legislative body should closely reflect the preferences of the voters, the desire to guarantee full proportionality has proved to be practically impossible. The research shows that proportional representation and fragmented parliament lead to governmental instability and concludes that a proportional system needs to balance the excessive influence of small parties, to allow the leading political forces to establish a stable and workable government which represents the interests of the general public rather than being politically blackmailed by the required support of small and minority parties.
