Knesset

Israel's 120-seat unicameral parliament and the supreme legislative authority of the state. The Knesset is elected by proportional representation — the entire country is a single constituency — which produces highly fragmented legislatures and requires multi-party coalition governments. The Knesset can dismiss a government through a constructive vote of no confidence (requiring an alternative majority), and a government's failure to pass its budget triggers automatic dissolution and new elections.
