Should Israel Begin Direct Elections for Prime Minister?
The upcoming Israeli elections will take place on March 23rd, 2021. The election system in Israel works differently than in the United States. While in the U.S. the elections are directly between candidates for President, in Israel the elections are between parties.
The Knesset (the Israeli Congress) has 120 Seats, and therefore all legal votes in the elections get divided into 120 mandates.
The head of the party that gets the most mandates, gets a green light from the President to form a coalition (with a majority of at least 61 Knesset Members) and if he/she succeeds he/she becomes Prime Minister.
What do you think of this election system? Is it too complicated? Should Israel begin direct elections for Prime Minister, like in the United States? Please share your opinion in the comments below!
