| Description | Ariel Sharon, if re-elected to a third term, may press for a change in Israel's system of government to a "presidential system," in which the prime minister would be elected directly, and members of Knesset would be elected according to regions of the country.
"The greatest thing that this party can do for the country," Kadima cabinet minister Meir Sheetrit said Sunday, referring to Sharon's new faction, "is to change the system of government."
Under the present system, political parties form national lists of candidates, and voters cast a single vote for one party. The party with the largest number of total votes generally forms the government, with the leader of the party becoming prime minister. |
