Full results should come in the morning, but it's looking like Mofaz will win this pretty easily.
And the Israeli centre-left's implosion continues...
Kadima wasn't supposed to be center-left. Remember, it was founded by Ariel Sharon: it was supposed to be center-ultra-right )
With Lab gone, Kadima was the last opposition party capable of forming government. Perhaps Israel moves even closer to a dominant party system... or as close as they can get in that clusterfook of a political arena with batshoot coalition partners like YB.
In the absence of Kadima, Labor will, eventually recover somewhat, perhaps as part of some new coalition. The right will, of course, easily win the next election - but that would have happened even if Kadima were still around. Likud is anything but a "dominant party" - polls show it struggling to get even 1/3 of the seats. It is just the fragmentation of the rest that is making it so far ahead in the polls. Not having the moderate vote split between Kadima and Labor will only allow emergence of a single pole on the other side.
Longer-term, of course, the proportion of ultra-orthodox and of the Arab vote is likely to grow, making it likely that the sorts of governments we are going to see are going to be increasingly unpleasant. I can't say I envy the sort of Israelis I sympathize with - but, in the end, it's their problem, not mine. If I were in their place, I'd consider moving somewhere more livable.
