Based on the calculations involving the number of eligible voters, the number of votes that are disqualified on the average and other factors, it appears the ?minimum threshold? for entering the 19th Knesset will be about 70,000 votes.
That means if any of the smaller parties vying for seats in Knesset do not earn 70,000 votes, they will not be in the Knesset and those votes will be lost. At one point, a small party could enter Knesset with far less votes, only required to earn one seat, but that was changed in the hope of eliminating some of the smaller parties which were viewed as counterproductive.
The calculations regarding the number of votes that back each seat in Knesset is estimated to be about 30,000.
There are 120 Knesset seats. While it is generally the case, a cabinet member does not necessarily have to be a MK, as is the case with Minister of Justice Prof. Yuval Ne?eman.
