Senior members of Kadima party said in response to the results of Labor's primary elections that the party "presents an inexperienced candidate and an inexperienced group with one common denominator, which is the desire to take over Amir Peretz's role before the elections out of an understanding that the role is beyond him."
The officials added that "Labor has today officially become an office of the Histadrut (labor federation) and its representatives have become hostages of the big (labor) committees." (Ronny Sofer)
