Israeli General Election 2013

[Zanas]

Kadima at 2-3 ? Wasn't that like the main party a few years ago ? Can you explain what happened ?

Also, the National Union has chosen its list, which will be merged with the Jewish Home:

1) Uri Ariel (Current MK, age 59, father of 6).

2) Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan (age 58, father of 9).

3) Zevulun Calpa (age 50, father of 6).

4) Orit Struk (age 52, mother of 11).

5) hillel Horovitz (age 48, father of 9)

6) Nochi Eyal (age 50 father of 7)

Well that's a crowded Home...

Results are in, and the more left wing of the Likud

The idea of this is somehow hilarious.

Are the Arab lists really willing to enter coalitions with centre-left parties ? I don't really know too well how ISraeli politics work, and I don't know if Arab lists are there to only represent Israeli Arabs but without any real intervention or if they really participate in the Knesset debates and coalition making.

I guess that Netanyahu making a coalition with all three religious parties Shas, Jewish Home and UTJ, possibly adding Kadima or, what the hell, Labour or Livni, would piss off the US, am I right ?

It seems the only plausible coalition would be a center one like : Likud-IB, Yesh Atid, Livni, Labor. Is that possible ?

Are Labour willing to be in a coalition with Likud ? With Yesh Atid that "stole their day" ?

Anyway, Netanyahu already stated that the priority of any new majority should be to prevent Iran from getting the nuclear bomb...

This is going to be fun to watch.
