Bibi's Betting On Effie Eitam

Bibi doesn't want to lose Feiglin supporters/votes, so he's negotiating with Effie Eitam to join Likud.

Polls show that the people want a strong Right wing government. But Likud support in the polls went down after Bibi's anti-Feiglin shenanigans. Bibi hopes that Eitam's presence in the Likud list will sedate the Feiglin supporters in believing that "Eretz Yisrael is safe" with the Likud in power.

Granted that your average voter doesn't delve too deeply into issues, the past etc, but I think that many people have become terribly disillusioned with Effie Eitam. My one experience meeting him in person was worse than disappointing. Eitam hasn't been effective as an MK or political leader at all.

I truely hope that Merzel, Eldad and the rest of Moledet will run together and form a united Eretz Yisreal l'Am Yisrael, The Land of Israel for the Jewish People party.

I Hope! G-d Willing

The latest election news from the Jewish Land of Israel Loyalists, is that the Moledet faction of the National Union realized that the National Religious Party is the National Religious Party, aka Mafdal, aka Mizrachi, no matter what new name its leaders invent. The Jewish Home is just another alumni association for Bnai Akiva graduates.

The news is that Moledet is joining MK Dr. Arieh Eldad's Hativah Party. I hope it's true, and even more I hope that they will also join up with Baruch Merzel's Our Land of Israel Party.

High-ranking Moledet officials said there exists a significant possibility that the Moledet-HaTikvah list will join up with the Our Land of Israel party, headed by Baruch Marzel of the Jewish Front and Rabbi Dov Wolpe. Many pro-Land of Israel supporters who were disappointed by the center-tilt of the Jewish Home, are hoping for this four-way merger, to prevent fragmentation of the pro-Land of Israel vote.

That will give me a party, not only to vote for, but work for, if they're interested.
