Nothing you said contradicts the original message at all though.
It's also true that the british government has some of the lowest support in history, losing the popular vote many times over and only attained power (marginally) due to vote splitting and gerrymandering.
It's not fair to say that "the british people want to bring back mandatory military service" (for example) because the conservative governments do, and the situation in Israel is even more dire in that regard.
- flanked-evergl 2y agoI'm fairly sure vote splitting and gerrymandering does not apply to Israel, as they don't have districts for representatives. If you have any data to back up your claim that the popular vote is vastly different from the composition of the knesset, please share it. But as far as I can tell from Wikipedia this is not the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Israeli_legislative_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Israeli_legislative_elect... And the claim was not as to the popularity of policies, the claim was that the government does not represent the electorate, which is categorically false in this case, and would have been even if there were electoral districts. If a government is elected by the representatives of the people, then that government represents the people. If the government did not represent the representatives and the population that elected the representatives, who does it represent then?
