The advantage of an unwritten Constitution is that it

The advantage to English Law is that it allows multiple
parties and opinions to coexist as it requires compromise
in order to function at all.

The disadvantage to both the above is that the are
remarkably sloppy and remarkably disorganized. Brits
"muddle through" for good reason. But, muddle they do.


Israel did it's best to copy all the mistakes and disadvantages of the
British parliamentary system in 1948. For example, Britain has 650
members of parliament and about 10 active political parties.

The Israeli Knesset has 120 seats, 17 parties with seats, and a huge
number of minor parties that appear and disappear as the crisis of the
day warrants.

Anything worth doing is worth over-doing. Perhaps if Israel increases
the number of seats in the Knesset, the number of parties might
decrease?

Fortunately, there are better ways to settle disagreements available
to middle east politicians:
