Unpopular opinion: Splitted parliaments lead to instability (see Israel, Spain etc) and can lead to coalitions original voters of a party didn't intend. Switch to majority vote like in the US and UK and implement a presidential system.

Ah, yes, brilliant idea. So Netanyahu can go full Orban and entrench himself with a permanent majority. Roll Eyes

Actually history has shown that FPTP makes it easier to remove governments from power.

lol that's a new one

You realize you can't have it both ways, right? Either FPP promotes Stability (which is Good) Smiley or it makes it easier to remove governments (which is Also Good) Smiley. One claim directly contradicts the other.

Actually no you can have changes in government but still be stable as most changes in government in FPTP result majority governments or defacto majority governments.
