Israeli Election - We all lost

Shareholders are called to assemblies to elect a new CEO. The shareholders of Israel settled for choosing the directors, who agree on nothing, let alone on a CEO. A business without a CEO won't get far, let alone a complex business like the State of Israel.
Any structure other than a unity government will require six different parties, each one capable of bringing that government down. Therefore, each will be infinitely able to extort money for its own causes. The government will be unstable, spendthrift and irresolute.
