Number of MKs of parties represented in the Knesset since 1992.
Over 30 years, from 1992 to 2022, there were 13 national elections. In these elections, 26 parties had MKs (Member of Knesset) elected. In the Israeli political system, a multiplicity of small parties emerge in every election and many of these dissolve and disappear from the political scene within one or a few terms of elections (see the list of parties). In this period of 1992-2022, only four parties have been continuously represented in each Knesset term with elected representatives (MKs). The graph below presents the number of MKs of these four parties.
Three of these parties (Likud, Shas, Yehadut haTorah) are conservative or religious parties. These three parties together have 50 MKs in the current Knesset which represent 41.7% of the Knesset.
The fourth party is the HaAvoda, the Labor Party of Israel which has socialist origins dating back to pre-state institutions. As can be seen in the graph, the Labor party electorate is continuously decreasing. It currently has only four MKs in the Knesset which represent 3.3% of the Knesset.
