The Lehi party is missing

This article should include some brief explanation of each party's policy positions (particularly for those in the current Knesset) for readers unfamiliar with them. Just a list of names tell the reader nothing. -- Kendrick7talk 20:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Why did you remove the link to the article about the National Bolshevik Party of Israel??? --41.242.141.243 09:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
You also removed the article about Bead Artseinu. Why? --41.242.141.243 15:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Just for information - the color scheme works as follows -
Any suggestions for development/change is welcome. Flymeoutofhere (talk) 16:38, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
There are supposed to be 120 seats, but the section showing the number of seats per party sums to 121. Can someone fix that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pauklzorz (talk • contribs) 13:20, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
tsomet is listed as a party that never was in the knesseth. 1988 and 1992 they made it into the knesseth. 178.5.92.131 (talk) 11:42, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I've added a "Political ideology" column and a bar below the table to quickly visualize the country's political leanings, but it was quickly deleted by User:Number 57 with the following edit summary: "rv overly simplistic description of parties; some parties have both right and left wing policies depending on the sphere, and agreement cannot even be reached on the individual articles".
While I agree it may be "overly simplistic", that's the point, to give the reader a rough idea of the country's current political preferences.
What does everyone think? Is this a good idea? What would you change? Thanks. Pristino (talk) 14:42, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

The table of former parties is immensely useful, but I suggest it be increased to include the current parties as well to make it even more useful. For example, I can tell from this page that Gahal had seats from the 5th to 7th knessets but I can't find such information about Likud. Zerotalk 13:37, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of political parties in Israel's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

It's nice to have a table of youth movements, but why here? Isn't a "political party" an organization that fields candidates for election? Also, there is a long list at Zionist youth movement. Zerotalk 12:14, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Political parties in Israel have historically always been more than just "an organization that fields candidates for elections". Relevant to the political organization of these parties are the various youth and young-adult movements found within Israel. While Zionist youth movement does provide a longer list, the list found here is for youth movements connected to the political sphere in Israel through partisan affiliation (historical and contemporary); whereas the list found in the youth movement page is more numerous and worldwide. I think it's okay. AVSKYE (talk) 20:29, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi, so I've done some research regarding "Mahane Yehuda - Royalist Party" and found that It's not a very notable political organization, with it only having mediocre social media appearances (an inactive Twitter, disabled Facebook, and unfinished site). As aforementioned here before, "a couple of people with t-shirts and flag aren't a political party."
It's also important to note that Political Party Law (1992), section 5(1), and Basic Law: The Knesset both prohibit any political party that:negates the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Furthermore, this political "movement" is not registered with either the Political Party Registry, Voluntary Association Registry, or Corporate Registry at the Ministry of Justice. I propose striking it from the article. AVSKYE (talk) 20:40, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
The Israeli political life is notably operating around "sectors" which work in "silos" with very little flows between each other:
The article doesn't highlight this fact enough. Once you include this known fact, it becomes clear that the existence of parties in Israel, and their branding, is a mixture of ambition and PR, and just that: in 70 years, Israel has had more than a hundred political parties, yet that sectarian structure remained almost unchanged.

Could someone update the "Current parties" section to reflect the split in the Religious Zionist Party? I've tried, but I keep messing up the table. David O. Johnson (talk) 23:23, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of political parties in Abkhazia which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 16:22, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
