Is Islam such a toxic, evil religion that even a political system designed to keep it out of politics must fail?  If anyone could pull this off, Ataturk could--but it seems that Turkey is down the drain.");
AddReply(400710,"To Emmess: Use CA and the USA","dav lev","Burbank. CAUSA","02/14/09","To Emmess: Remember that in the USA, there are 50 states, each with it\'s own government., each presumably serving the needs of the respective populations. Where you deviate, is the Federal govt. However, our constitution dictates their power, authority, etc. It\'s about the balance of power at the Fed level. No region ( Senate ) is more or less than any other region. In the House of Rep., districts are determined as you know by population. Israelis vote by ideology. Thus, giving (for ex). Eilat, the same power as Tel Aviv, is not smart or feasible. The answer: increase the requirements to participate in the Knesset substantially. Knock out most of the parties..perhaps to 2-4. The US model is better than France, Spain, Italy, etc. Try it, Israel you might like it. Direct vote for P.M, who picks his cabinet  (as in the USA) subject to the Knessets approval. ");

One minister cant deal with 7 million people . why not there are cities with twice as many people.Israelis are irresponsible when voting. messing with the system will not improve that. the electoral system was changed twice in the last 13 years . each time it made things worse. lets all take a deep breath think straight and not advocate various unworkable plans");
AddReply(400477,"To Israel: You Need a New Govt","dav lev","Burbank. CAUSA","02/13/09","I am a Californian. We are as big as Iraq, with an economy of 2 trillion. My county, LA, has 10m people (the largest in the US). My guess, it\'s GDP is about 600b, maybe more. Israel has 7m people, and is one-half the size of San Bernardino County, CA. It\' GDP about 140b. My point: yes, we have gridlock with opposites in our legislature, 2 parties. Israel, for a miniscule country, needs to CHANGE it\'s govt system. Get a constitution Israel. Vote 2 parties (or 3), left, middle, right. Break up the country into districts...your P.M., should have more power..your Knesset, less. Deals? Okay, within each party..at times behind closed doors, at times transparent. Israelis govt is archaic..and dysfunction. (See current election morass). ");

AddReply(399992,"Regional representation not govt.","emmess","Canada","02/12/09","Probably the best functioning governments are those based on the Parliamentary (or Westminster) system where members are elected riding by riding (or district by district). Thus each candidate is answerable to his neighbours and elected members who do not fulfill their promises can be punished by being voted out of office. In works in Canada, Australia, the U.K. and functions much more smoothly than the Roman-inspired system used in the U.S.\nA member of Knesset elected in Efrat would have to serve Efrat. The one elected in Hebron would have to serve Hebron -- not the party, the people. What a refeshing change from the self-serving abomination that is the Israeli electoral system. Can it be implemented? Only if today\'s politicians exit the scene en mass.");

Forced Relocations (2005) and the Fence/Wall (future border) clearly billboard the status quo, it hasn\'t changed.\n\n2. Israelis have not lost faith.  They\'re reacting to the geo-economic-political-military as are people everywhere.  Ten minutes ago (2 years) the world was pro-war and pro-business, everything today contradicts that.  A mass psychology whammy.\n\n3. I don\'t believe in bolshevism because it has to be decreed by an authority figure.  There\'s no dictatorship by the masses.  In fact, as an entellectual, or somebody who has alot of time on their hands, I think the only thing an individual can influence or change is their own individual perception/pov.

Create representatives of tens, then five or ten \"tens reps\" choose a rep for their fifty and hundred constituents.  Then ten \"hundred reps\" choose a rep for their thousand constituents.

This is why American\'s republic is much more stable and representative of the people\'s will (though from the time of the civil war, this has continuously been eroded).\nThis is the system of government as prescribed in the Torah, eventually leading to one rep (the king) whose chosen from amongst his brethren, and accountable to them.\n");
