As you were typing out your comment, who will be leader of Israel will be determined by whether or not an Arab party will be accepted into a governing coalition. They always exclude Arab parties from being in the coalition. Because racism and shit.

That’s proportional representation. You have lots of options for who to vote for, but if the majority wants to lock out a minority group from power they can. All power is determined by backroom deals between parties.

But there is a chance the Arab party may be allowed to be part of the government. It all depends on whether the leaders of a bunch of parties are willing to allow Netanyahu to continue to rule over them or allow an Arab party to join them. Nothing anybody can do about it, the lives of a lot of people and the future of the middle East depends on the results of some backroom deals.

Fuck proportional representation. It’s so obviously a stupid system. If Netanyahu didn’t get enough votes to continue to be PM but he may still continue to be PM because of some bullshit backroom deal, while you watch him do whatever he’ll do next, will you still say “but proportional representation of good?”
