They would have been a rinky-dinky opposition party, which would never attract a wide enough circle of voters.<br /><br />The point of Feiglin being in a party where the PM hates him (it is not true what you said that the party hates him - Feiglin is highly respected even by rivals within the Likud), is to eventually become the prime minister. That is the goal. Nothing less will do. The goal is not to simply remain a faction within the Likud, whether big or small.<br /><br />Esser, I have no idea if Hotovely's condition of expectancy may or may not have something to do with her absence. Just something to check into regarding this specific vote. Otherwise, I agree with you in general about her and Elkin. Nothing surprising. BTW, so much for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=312Ne-huWkY" rel="nofollow"><i><b>Elkin Style</b></i></a>!<br /><br />As for Lieberman, he has never changed his spots. Read this old column by Caroline Glick: <a href="http://carolineglick.com/what_lieberman_wants/" rel="nofollow"><i><b>What Lieberman Wants</b></i></a>. He's never been right wing. His land transfer ideas are based on the same desperation the rest of secular Israel has trying to grasp for the everlasting peace that is their ultimate goal in life.<br /><br />And Lieberman is cunning. Rule of thumb: NEVER trust him.Shy Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104227389210314550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-2895985498561082102013-12-20T12:37:47.580+02:002013-12-20T12:37:47.580+02:00Shy, if Feiglin had done what I wanted him to do a...Shy, if Feiglin had done what I wanted him to do and run with Eldad, then there would have been a decent sized party. None of the other Likud mk's voted with him, nor the NRP, just like I said.<br />So what's the point of Feiglin being in a party that hates him and he has no influence in?<br />Esser, I told you not to trust anyone who wanted to be in the coalition.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-1168574207038013942013-12-20T12:22:28.514+02:002013-12-20T12:22:28.514+02:00Hotovely didn't vote for it?

But, like many before him, I'll bet he's been "warned" (and not by Netanyahu) to "behave," or else. <br /><br />Stay warm!Esser Agarothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853681733864707489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-4662285814330472622013-12-20T09:24:41.954+02:002013-12-20T09:24:41.954+02:00I wish I didn't have to write:

Try something contrarian, like getting everyone who wants true Jewish leadership to stop voting for splinters and splinters-in-waiting.<br /><br />You didn't tell us anything we didn't already know.
