I suppose people could tactically vote for Herzog as Prime Minister.<br /><br />Herzog says he will not join a coaliton with Netanyahu (but maybe an attack on Iran could change that)<br /><br />One reason he may not want to do so that he is not saying would be tht his party joined the government, The Joint List, as the largest party outside the government, would become the leader of the opposition and entitled to security briefings.<br /><br />That might not apply if he created a splitaway faction of just 3 or 4 members, with Labor still being larger than the Joint List and that's being looked into.Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-72097151335979081752015-05-08T20:17:10.194+03:002015-05-08T20:17:10.194+03:0061-vote coalitions are more stable than before.

No longer can a no confidence vote lead to new elections.<br /><br />You can also get new elections if a budget fails to pass, but the new government has given itself, or has, quite some time to pass one.<br /><br />Netanyahu has left the position of Foreign Minister vacant, and is seeking to expand the coalition.<br /><br />Sammy Finkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105012664741556033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-62819257695179593542015-05-07T23:00:35.550+03:002015-05-07T23:00:35.550+03:00Who knows...
