Should Israel switch to an FPTP system

[OSR stands with Israel]

I would definitely say yes because it would bring more stability to Israel and would also make it easier for a party to be kicked out if enough voters think they are doing a bad choice.

In many ways India and Israel are very similar and I would argue FPTP helped make India far more stable than it would have been without it.

No. Israel is sufficiently diverse that an FPTP system could really screw a group and more or less cut them out of the electoral process. Reform PR may be, but FPTP is not a good fit for this  country.

India is also very diverse and yet FPTP has worked pretty well
 

No, Netanyahu is close enough to dictatorship as it is.

Likud would have more power for the short term but it would be easier to throw them out as well as in an FPTP system , getting less than 27-28% would get you thrown out of office by a large margin while in Propertional it may not

Those are kind of contradictory.

A country shouldn't care about stability in it's electoral system, it should care about democracy and FPTP is not democratic.

Nope the reason is the incumbent/establishment party usually can count of a bloc of 20%-25% of support at the worst and in a proportional system due to their being so many different opposition parties that amount would give them the best chance out of all the parties to put together a coalition goverment.


But in FPTP even if you get 30%(instead of say 20-25% )of the vote your party is going to be thrown out of office.



FPTP forces you to get at least 35% of the vote to win .
