Rick Hertzberg blogs a point that Adam Blickstein made to me in person yesterday: While there’s nothing unusual about Israel’s use of party list proportional representation, there is something unusual about the use of a very low threshold—just two percent—to get into the Knesset. It would be more common to have something like five percent.
That’s a fair point, and something the Israelis might want to change.
