A few elections ago Moledet joined to run with them. When we came to work/volunteer we found the establishment refusing to let us do anything not in the nrp program.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-89580178187036986862012-10-19T09:50:24.366+02:002012-10-19T09:50:24.366+02:00That's probably true.

They have a big organzition, property etc. They want to swallow up Eldad and Ben-Ari and turn everyone into NRP.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-72127722387039280272012-10-19T00:04:41.135+02:002012-10-19T00:04:41.135+02:00Moledet still exist and is part of this new union....Moledet still exist and is part of this new union.<br />So are the ideas : Rehavam Zeevi was a minister when he got assassinated...<br /><br />The political plateform of EYS is much more narrow and more extreme and has a few differences: for them, only land matters, there are no global vision, especially about the medina (which has no value in their opinion).<br /><br />I agree with you : it's quite hard to be a fan of the NRP.<br />But Tekuma and moledet really have a clear ideology and they're not afraid to speak.<br />And the but of this union isn't just to "enter the coalition", but to get as much as possible MKs so they can really matter, in or out of a coalition.<br />Especially now that virtually every party will get less than 20 MKs.<br /><br />BTW, Eldad has confirmed that they're leaving because of fight over knesset seats...Amihainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-10950879994476069982012-10-18T23:15:47.309+02:002012-10-18T23:15:47.309+02:00Amihai, In actuality it's Ketzele leaving with...Amihai, In actuality it's Ketzele leaving with the name. Eldad and Ben-Ari are the more veteran in the Right following the steps of Rehavam Ze'evi, Moledet.<br /><br />I've never been a Mafdal NRP voter or fan. The aim of NRP was always to be in the coalition. Ministers don't make changes. The watch their seats or the PM will sack them.<br /><br />Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-16029063533746043622012-10-18T13:51:25.287+02:002012-10-18T13:51:25.287+02:00Agree with almost everything, except what you writ...Agree with almost everything, except what you write about the split of the Ichud Leumi.<br />That they want cabinet position isn't in itself problematic.<br />In fact it's the opposite, because it gives opportunity to change things.<br />The true problem is what is their true motivation.<br />If it's just so they can feel important and have a seat in the governement, just for the sake of being minister, it's awful (like beit yehudi).<br />But that's really not what Ketzeleh want : he aims for a bigger and immediate change.<br /><br />The difference with Feiglin and the Likud isn't that they are trying to improve something rotten like the likud, but trying to build something new, much more idealistic.<br /><br />Then, I'm not such a big fan of Ben-Ari. If he's running alone with E.Y.Shelanu, I won't give my voice to a list with which I disagree on a few things.<br />Especially that the reason he's leaving the others is not because a disagrement or else.<br />It's just because of the return of Deri, which he want to use as a mean to get a lot of tradionalist usually voting shass...<br /><br />H'aval he doesn't want to unify with the others, it would only have helped.Amihainoreply@blogger.com
