How much is one’s vote worth? Hypothetically, of course. It’s unlikely that someone will wander over and offer a pot of gold in return for complaisance at the ballot box. Still, it’s a question I’ve been forced to ponder quite seriously recently, in the lead-up to my first Israeli national election.

Welcome to Israel's form of Democracy Mr. Ajayi; Over the dacades I've lived here, I voted in all the elections for people who I felt would be great Prime Ministers. Unbfortubnately, afrter the elections these same people, these people who I thought were my kind of People and good for the state of Israel and the people of Israel, these same people "for political purposes": brought in parties and folks to his coalition governent that I wanted nothing to do with. Who's political thinking was totally diffferent than me on national issues, overseas issues, religious issues.. My vote, which had good intentions got lost in the Muck of " Israel Democracy". I'd be pleased as punch to get two beers for my vote.. This electorial system must be changed.
