| These are the Players:Likud(L), Kadima (K),Labor(LB),Yisrael Beiteinu(YB),Shas(S),United Torah(UT),Jewish Home(JH),National Union(NU),Meretz(M). What are the possibilities?: L+YB+JH+NH =49 + S+UT =65 L+YB+K=70 L+K+LB =68 L+K+S+UT =71 K+LB+S+UT =58 +M =61 The most likely combination (the most stable) is L+K+YB , less stable L+K+LB even less so L+K+S+UT. With the first combination netanyahu PM, Livni FM and Mofaz DM. The best combination to torpedo any chances of peace with the Palestinians. Point is- the only theoretical chance Livni can put together a government without Likud is joining with the ultranationalist religious parties. fat chance. Likud will lead any foreseeable government and can do it without Kadima and or labor but will be presidinging over a motely crew. grim prospects all around. |
