2013 Knesset Elections
Early legislative elections were held in Israel on 22 January 2013 to elect the 120 members of the nineteenth Knesset. Public debate over the Tal Law had nearly led to early elections in 2012, but they were aborted at the last moment after Kadima briefly joined the government. The elections were later called in early October 2012 after failure to agree on the budget for the 2013 fiscal year. The elections saw the Likud Yisrael Beiteinu alliance emerge as the largest faction in the Knesset, winning 31 of the 120 seats. Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu formed the country's Thirty-third government of Israel, thirty-third government after establishing a coalition with Yesh Atid, the Jewish Home, and Hatnua, which between them held 68 seats. Background Following the 2009 Israeli legislative election, 2009 elections, in which right-wing and religious parties won the majority (65 out of 120, or 54%) of the seats, Leader of the Opposition (Israel), opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu e ...

Political Parties In Israel
Israel's political system is based on proportional representation and allows for a multi-party system with numerous parties represented in the 120-seat Knesset. A typical Knesset includes many factions represented. This is because of the low election threshold required for a seat – 1 percent of the vote from 1949 to 1992, 1.5 percent from 1992 to 2003, 2 percent from 2003 to 2014, and 3.25 percent since 2015. In the 2015 elections, for instance, ten parties or alliances cleared the threshold, and five of them won at least ten seats. The low threshold, in combination with the nationwide party-list system, makes it all but impossible for a single party to win the 61 seats needed for a majority government. No party has ever won a majority of seats in an election, the most being 56, won by the Alignment grouping in the 1969 elections (the Alignment had briefly held a majority of seats before the elections, following its formation in January 1969). As a result, while only four par ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pirate Parties
Pirate Party is a label adopted by various political parties worldwide that share a set of values and policies focused on civil rights in the digital age. The fundamental principles of Pirate Parties include freedom of information, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, digital rights and internet freedom. The first Pirate Party, initially named "Piratpartiet", was founded in Sweden in 2006 by Rick Falkvinge, and the movement has since expanded to over 60 countries. Ideology Central to their vision is the defense of free access to and sharing of knowledge, and opposition to intellectual monopolies. This position fits theoretically into the "knowledge commons" framework, developed from Elinor Ostrom's studies on the governance of the commons and later applied to the digital domain by scholars such as Yochai Benkler and Lawrence Lessig. They therefore advocate for copyright and patent laws reform, aiming to make them more flexible and fairer, foster innovation and balan ...
