Even if a majority of MK's support SSM, you still need a favourable coalition to get it past.

Basically every Knesset for the last 10 years had the votes to legalize secular marriage but it didn't happen.

Not going to happen with gay marriage either.

Who is still supporting The Movement at this point? What could possibly be their rationale?

People who want to shift the government to the left from within the government, people who think of themselves as centrists but aren't happy with Lapid.

Man, the left in Israel is just really DOA, huh? It's been well over a decade since Labor was in power. Strange to see.

They have enough relevance to be in the current government.

Hatnuah? They're centrist. I'm talking about Labor, which was in charge for the vast majority of Israel's pre-Barak days.

None of the leaders of any of the parties in government would refer to themselves as left wing, and being in government doesn't necessarily mean you are relevant anyway. The lefts real power comes from the supreme court and the media.

Which means that can't be libertarians.  Libertarians stand for clearly defined platitudes.

None of the leaders of any of the parties in government would refer to themselves as left wing, and being in government doesn't necessarily mean you are relevant anyway. The lefts real power comes from the supreme court and the media.
What media exactly is controlled by the left? I'm hearing this myth over and over, Haaretz is a left-wing newspaper in a legitimate way (not hiding its opinions) and channel 10 are vaguely lefty. Bar for them (which are both smaller scale media outlets) the entire media is centre-right.
Yediot Ahronot-Channel 2 is a centrist media bloc supporting Yesh Atid and maybe the centre part of Labour nothing from the left there, Channel 1 is fringe right wing and recent years and Israel Hayom is the Likud herald (which is legitimate). Clearly this 'the Left control the media' is a myth.

Regarding the courts it's pretty much BS as well, the courts have some commitments to humans rights (as stated by Israeli law) but bottom line the courts are mainstream Zionist, and as a lawyer I can tell you the people with solid right wing\left wing opinions will most likely not be selected for judge positions. 95% of judges in Israel are in Likud-Labour spectrum. Anyone with legal knowledge and understand the left positions will tell you it's a fable that does not correspond with reality and the supreme courts actual verdicts.

Overall more BS from the right to nurture your myth of traitors from within.

Yesh Atid might be described as Liberal or more accurately a party of non ideology sponsored by the rich and the old school establishment

Yesh Atid is essentially Yair Lapid's vehicle and nothing more.  It has no ideology.

Happily a piece of jargon doth exist for such outfits: 'personalist'.

I think you overrate Yair Lapid's intelligence, he's ultimately the puppet not the puppeteer
