Israel General Election (2019)- finalized parties

[America Needs R'hllor]

Now that the party lists have been finalized, it's time to make a new poll. Very short summary of the non-minor parties:

Likud- ruling party, right-wing, lead by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Blue and White- a union of centrist parties Israeli Resilience and Yesh Atid meant to replace Netanyahu, lead by former IDF Chief Benny Gantz, former Economy Minister Yair Lapid, former Defense Minister Moshe "Bogie" Ya'alon and former IDF Chief Gabby Ashkenazi.
Labour- center-left to left party, lead by Avi Gabbay.
New Right- staunch right-wing party, "religious and secular" union lead by former Jewish Home leaders Education Minister Naftali Bennet and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked.
Meretz- staunch left-wing, socialist, lead by Tamar Zandberg
Kulanu- center-right party with an emphasis on economic issues and fairly leftist economics, lead by Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon.
Gesher- non-aligned party lead by MK Orly Levi Abukasis, focuses soley on socio-economic issues, welfare etc.
Yisrael Beiteinu- a secular right-wing hawkish party lead by former Foreign and Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman, appeals to post-Soviet Jews.
Union of Right-wing Parties- far-right and heavily religious, a union of Jewish Home, National Union and the Kahanist Otzma Yehudit (Jewish National Front). Lead by Jewish Home leader Rafi Peretz and National Union leader Bezalel Smotrich.
Hadash-Ta'al- a union of two Arabic parties, the communist Hadash lead by Ayman Odeh and the Arabic-Israeli interests party Ta'al lead by Ahmad Tibi.
Balad-Ra'am- another union of two major Arabic parties, the Palestinian nationalist Balad and the Islamist Ra'am. Lead by Ra'am leader Mansur Abbas and Balad leader Matanes Shahada.
United Torah Judaism- an Ashkenazi Haredi party, very religious and supports religious laws in the country, Haredi interests, lead by Ya'akov Litzman.
Shas- Mizrahi Haredi party, Haredi interests, runs with an open embrace of Netanyahu, lead by Arye Deri.
Zehut- libertarian party lead by former MK Moshe Feiglin. Running as very pro-weed.
Tzomet- a right-wing party lead by the very controversial Likud MK Oren Hazan.

For me it's easily Labour. The best list in Israel and the one of the only two parties truly fighting for peope like me.

Jewish Home/National Union. The country is heading in the right direction under Likud, but pressure from the right remains necessary in order to change things, as Likud is too status-quo oriented. I look forward to seeing Smotrich as Education Minister as well as Bennett and Shaked on important ministerial positions.

Are you sure that as a LGBT you want Mr. "Beast Parade", well-known for his hate for homosexuals, to teach the kids all that hate?

Like most of my family there, I'd vote for Hadash or Ta'al.

They're the same party

Also, curious- if a new Arab party more moderate than the current ones and focused on the interests of Arab Israelis and on a conductive cooperation with the Israeli left, as well as a two-state solution, would you support it? Obviously it wouldn't be Zionist (but also not anti-Zionist) and would still be to the left of Meretz, but I've long wanted to see such a party arise to truly help Arabs. Imo, the current parties are barely doing anything productive for Arabs and are mostly doing damage.

Man, the right would be screwed under these results. So many parties under the threshold.

I assume these results would mean new elections in less than a year?

The Atlas ones? Probably a grand KL-Meretz-Labour coalition. Either that or a Meretz-Labour minority coalition supported by Hadash-Ta'al from outside but I'm not sure Gabbay would be comfortable with this. Althought, I'm not sure how the seats are calculated but I guess there's a chance Labour and Meretz\KL pass 60 alone- if so, that's definitely the coalition, though Gabbay would be torn between joining Meretz and joining KL. Labour would be the kingmaker, and if I had to guess the pressure would be for Gabbay to join Meretz.

The only parties that pass the threshold as of now are KL, Meretz, Labour, HadashTaal, Likud and Zehut.

While I'd usually vote for the right-wing populists who want to defend their heritage and sovereignty, but I'd imagine that they are very pro-settlement, so I voted for the pro-weed guys in stand.

By the way, Feiglin is staunchly against a two-state solution and for one Jewish state. So he's definitely very pro-settlement, perhaps almost as much as the said "populists".

So you're kinda out of options- it's either the anti-settlement left or the pro-settlement right, or the Arabs. I do think that Ra'am-Balad, half Islamist and half fiery anti-Zionist, could fit into the "right-wing populists who want to defend their heritage and sovereignity" category as well as URWP, but somehow, I doubt they'll fit the bill

For me it's easily Labour. The best list in Israel and the one of the only two parties truly fighting for peope like me.

Who are "people like me" and what is the other party?

People like me- homosexuals and the secular public. The other party is Meretz, but on most issues (foreign policies and economics, mostly) I'm quite a bit to their right. I'm actually a bit to Labour's right on economics as well, but broadly, on I align with them well on religion-and-state issues, civil rights, the Palestinian issue and my strong dissatisfaction with Netanyahu's handling of the impoverished and dying periphery that I'm a part of (in exchange for showering the settlements with money).

Yesh Atid has been pretty secularist, hasn't it? 

They don't really have the backbone and were vague on quite a lot of issues, and I also don't align with them on many issues and their rhetoric. And I really don't like Lapid.
