Rare handwritten article, 6pp, recto only, 11 x 8½ in., in Hebrew, 1961, regarding the 5th Israeli Parliament elections of 1961. In part, the letter reads, "The elections coming on August 15th were designed for the election of a Knesset and formation of a Government, which will run the state in the next 4 years. The corner stone for these declarations was placed before the announcement of the dissolving of the Knesset. When "Mapam" and. and following them the Progressives announced that they will not seat in a government headed by David Ben Gurion they did not say whether it was a temporary sanction or a lifetime ban, but it was obviously refreshing moment in our democratic way of life, not the electors are the ones who determine the elected representatives, the. do. Meaning, those who elected Bentov Ben-Aharon and Rozen, those who did not see Ben Gurion as their representative, they are the ones who have right to decide who stands at the head of "MAPAY" (Labor party) and who praise the current election system. This coalition gave us three constructive achievements, a boycott on Ben Gurion as prime minister, premature elections and calling the Knesset for emergency gatherings to make it a stage for campaign speeches but this new-born coalition is still at its prime and its future is ahead of it. The labor party's candidate list and candidate order for the 5th Knesset hasn't changed, except for Lavon and Rothenstien, since the last elections. Then came the next stage, its subjects are the key people in this coalition. declare that they wont sit in a government in which the Labor party is the majority, while the labor party is a minority in the Knesset. what is the true meaning of this statement? Does the Labor party, having majority in the government, deprive the representatives of the other parties and by that transforming from minority to majority? In this Knesset the Labor party has 54 representatives (including the Arab parties). by which system will the next government be elected? Will the parties in the coalition not see themselves as representatives of the public, which are privileged and obligated to serve in the government in accordance to the number of Mps the have? I'm afraid. I won't be mistaken if I said that the intention is to make a minority become a majority and the majority to become a minority." With partial translation. Rust mark and a couple of small margin stains, else fine.
