What happened
An analysis by Eitan Haber for N12 argues that Israeli politics has become ideologically blurred, with politicians adapting their views to fit party lists controlled by leaders, rather than finding parties that align with their beliefs. This trend weakens democratic accountability and party structures, exemplified by the Likud party's transformation.
- 01Israeli politicians now adapt views to party lists, not vice-versa.
- 02Party leaders control lists, weakening democratic accountability.
- 03This trend signifies a 'crushing of the party structure'.
- 04The Likud party is presented as a case study of this shift.
- 05Politics has moved from party-centric to leader-centric 'courts'.
