Direct Representational Democracy for Israel

Direct Representational Democracy for Israel is a non-partisan, political movement in Israel. It supports the applied principles of individual rights and individual responsibility through direct representation and protections against abuses of power in government. The movement promotes specific changes to Israel's system of government.

  • All Knesset legislators will be directly elected by absolute majorities in single-representative regional constituencies. That is, the movement endorses changing the election of Knesset Members from proportional to direct representation. The head of the executive branch will also be directly elected in a national election.
  • There should be absolute separation of powers and personnel among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government. No government official shall serve in more than one branch at any one time. MKs will not serve concurrently as government ministers and the head of the executive branch (whether she/he is called Prime Minister or President) will not concurrently serve in the Knesset. That is, the movement endorses changing from a parliamentary system to a presidential system for the executive branch.
  • All government officials (including supreme court justices) should be accountable for their actions and impeachable under specific circumstances and through cross-branch procedure.

Direct Representational Democracy for Israel was founded on July 4, 2004. Direct Representational Democracy for Israel has also been called "Direct Representation for Israel."
