"influence and power has been diluted". <br /><br />Likud MKs: winners. All had been sweating they would be one of the 7 that wouldn't make it into the top 20. Now they have another 18 months of a job. <br /><br />Supreme winner: Likud MK Zev Elkin, who has proven that he is Bibi's most trusted advisor (he was the only MK brought into the story way before it broke) as well as a favorite of the Likud's right[most] flank. <br /><br />Winners: The Likud merkaz. We almost had Bibi as our president, who wants our demise and would have made us hibernate until January 2014. But a few alert members submitted their candidacy, which brought Danon and Eitan back to the race and especially ripped up the agreement they almost agreed to - Bibi as temporary head of the Veida/Merkaz until after general elections (they thought just till September 2012 but as I wrote above, Bibi knew he was thinking January 2014). <br /><br />Mini-winner: Gidon Ariel, who was the first and spotlit candidate for Veida president, who got a third-page article in the Jpost and the Jpress and many encouraging phone calls. (He's waiting for the quarter that will, combined with this, get him on the subway.)HolyCityPrayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427375796402133238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-16925799669669466972012-05-09T08:13:59.123+03:002012-05-09T08:13:59.123+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.HolyCityPrayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427375796402133238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-2937974860212146682012-05-09T06:32:15.148+03:002012-05-09T06:32:15.148+03:00Fantastic summary, Jameel.Fantastic summary, Jameel.Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-43430422961372333122012-05-08T17:41:09.285+03:002012-05-08T17:41:09.285+03:00Anonymous: Bennett is a nice guy and says the righ...Anonymous: Bennett is a nice guy and says the right things. The problem is that had their been elections now, I could see him having the "1992 effect" in which more right wingers voted in the elections, yet the smaller parties didnt get enough seats to pass the "achuz hachasima" -- and all those votes were wasted (Techiya, R' Levinger's party, and a bunch of others)...leading to the rise of the worst government in Israel's history.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-77764961117754305072012-05-08T17:35:56.357+03:002012-05-08T17:35:56.357+03:00Re: Bennett / MyIsrael / HaYehudiim

Not just the likes of Danny Danon, Yariv Levin & Tzippi Hotovely, but also Yisrael Katz, Gilad Erdan and Miri Regev.

If Feiglin ever wins Likud primaries then the Likud will immediately break into pieces. Just like Kadima broke off from it, and Barak's party split off from Labor. No matter how well or badly Feiglin does in the primaries, his actual support base in the population remains unchanged, and it is nowhere near enough to actually lead Israel.Shlononoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-86445340596641351882012-05-08T16:38:29.875+03:002012-05-08T16:38:29.875+03:00Jameel,

The coalition deal gives Feiglin even more future potential.<br /><br />It also proves that the Likud is *the* party to be in. The smaller parties are becoming more irrelavent by the day.

But then again, they are in the same boat as Yair Lapid.<br /><br />EvanP: I think that the Settlement movement will have ups and downs as Bibi will try to find a balance between pleasing Kadima and keeping the rightwing of the Likud happy. Kadima only has Mofaz joining the inner cabinet. There are still many pro-Eretz Yisrael people in the government. Don't misunderstand -- there will be individuals who will face painful loses, such as 5 families in Givat HaUlpana...or Beit HaMachpela. Yet there will be continuous pressure on Netanyahu to continue building and expansion; such as the legalization of Bruchin, Sansana and Rechailim.<br /><br />National Union is now totally irrelavent as a party, and may even have to salute Ahmed Tibi or Hanin Zuabi as their "oppostion" leader.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-59733353023924900402012-05-08T12:29:59.462+03:002012-05-08T12:29:59.462+03:00Looks like Bennett and MyIsrael / Yisraelim are pr...Looks like Bennett and MyIsrael / Yisraelim are pretty big losers here too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-64328737068403959572012-05-08T11:35:31.411+03:002012-05-08T11:35:31.411+03:00Meh.

The whole push for elections was because the Likud membership and MKs were sick of Ehud Barak/Supreme Court/AGs office playing double standard with the Ulpana/Migron/Hevron. Now, it'll be back to business as usual, where illegal building all over the country done by Beduins, Arabs etc. gets a pass and when Jews in Yehuda and Shomron follow all the laws they still get their houses torn down.<br />Needless to say, I'm disgusted with the whole targil masriach.EvanPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456503420589824517noreply@blogger.com
