A third election in less than a year.  A year ago who would have believed that this is where we would be.  The Israeli political system is broken.  Unfortunately, it always has been.  The real solution is not to change or remove the threshold, and not to elect the prime minister directly (we did that once), it is to completely change the system so that Members of Knesset are elected by their constituents in their district.  That way they are accountable to the citizens in their district.  Right now, most MKs are only beholden to the head of their party.

Perhaps with this third election looming and no guarantee that we will not have a fourth next year, Israeli citizens will start thinking about how real changes can be made.
