Shahar Ilan, Haaretz Correspondent: Pensioners faction head: If Gaydamak can buy a Knesset party, so can Nasrallah
Talkback
Title: Democracy Gone Haywire Name: Wal K City: State:
In Israel, one votes for a party - not for individual representatives. MK`s only get into the Knesset by virtue of being on a party list. So if they no longer feel part of that party, they should be have the option of leaving and their positions on the list replaced. They should *not* be able to form a new party within the current Knesset. Anyone agree? Why doesn`t it actually work this way?
