In an election like yesterday's there could be ten left over seats. It's a crazy system and Tsippi fouled up by not making a deal with a viable party.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-11532864685964437242009-02-11T15:46:00.000+02:002009-02-11T15:46:00.000+02:00Shalom!I may be mistaken, but I thought that at le...Shalom!<BR/>I may be mistaken, but I thought that at least since the last election (possibly since previous elections) the votes for any party that didn't receive the minimum amount for entering the Knesset were simply disregarded, unlike in the previous system when the votes were divided (I think proportionally) among the parties that did enter the Knesset. This was a big issue in the last election because Marzel was running in his own party and some people erroneously thought that some of the votes for him would end up going to Arab parties if he didn't pass the minimum.<BR/>Do you think that NU and Jewish Home won more votes separately than they would have together? I do.<BR/>It's not so strange that Kadima is similar to the Likud, after all, Kadima spun off from the Likud.<BR/>HadassaHadassa DeYounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253596063646903000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-42350057925884764252009-02-11T09:48:00.000+02:002009-02-11T09:48:00.000+02:00Aaron K, exactly.It was so pathetic last night wat...Aaron K, exactly.<BR/>It was so pathetic last night watching the newscasters jumping up and down:<BR/>"Tsippi did it!

In addition, the same messiah like atmosphere that prevails in the US regarding Obama prevails among many re Netanyahu. If Natanyahu & Livni overcame personal egos, I wouldn't be surprised if Likud strikes a deal w/ Livni and bypasses the Right. In reality, the difference between Kadima & the Likud leadership may only be a matter of only a few degrees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
