Thank you Zipi Livni for giving us Lieberman, Friedmann, and all the other hacks. See what we have become, and you made it happen. You had the opportunity to work with Bibi to change this pseudo democracy, but you threw it away in personal spite. We voted for you to be in the government, not in the opposition which will have absolutely no effect.. Now we will be dragged down with you and your pitiful party. What were you thinking?

I personally would have voted Likud had I been in Israel but this is besides the point. Zipi should have left her leftist agenda aside and agree to a coalition in order to have a voice. From what it appears a strong voice at that. Bibi would have given her party much more than some token seat but an actual voice in the future of Israel. Now because of party politics, and a short sidedness to agree to disagree and get to work on building a better Israel, Kadima is not all but defunct. I am sure she could drum up plenty of controversy and speak out against things, but that won't help since Likud will secure a solid majority. Sometimes you need to take a bit of humility in order to secure a voice for your future, but because Zipi couldn't get past her own ego she has wiped out any chance of having Kadima's thoughts or ideology even considered. Way to go Zipi! #1 I know you don't care for the right and that is ok. It is what makes a democracy a democracy, but it is good to know WHO's fault it is for throwing the baby out with the bath water" as it were. Kadima needs to toss her out and bring in someone willing to work with the right and left to ensure a consensus on the the future of Israel.

1, and 2. it is not livnis fault that netanyahu is forming a horrible right wing government. the people voted for Livni under the principle that she will back the two state solution. When she asked netanyahu to do the same, he said no, the people that voted for her, voted for her because that is what they wanted. she tried to make it happen but it is netanyahus fault for not taking her. she has to stick with her main princible when she is making a coalition! he should have took her and now he is stuck with a right based government which he truly doesnt even want and i wish it luck when its going to have to deal with the obama administration.

If she had joined the government, she could have gotten electoral reform passed, which would benefit us for eternity! Then we wouldn't be in this ridiculous coalition bargaining necessity, where the winners must ask the losers, who were soundly rejected by the voters, for their support. It doesn't matter WHAT her respective beliefs on the 2-State solution are. The Palis are in no condition to do anything (what a failed bunch of losers) so the fact they Tzipi and Bibi disagree on this issue is of no concern. But, she should have fixed the stuff she could have (civil marriage, electoral reform).

don't understand, the majority of votes went to Kadima and Kadima is not in the coalition, how come? something is wrong in the system, change the damn system, other wise signing coalition agreements will continu to the next milenium.
