1. Frightening only 6 votes from destruction
NaiveIsraelis ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.30.12)
Frightening to think that the Israeli public still continues to vote left and that despite the demographic growth vote of the right only a difference of 6 votes separates the country from another possible Oslo "Peace" Process. The mind boggles. Makes one almost pack his bags and take the children to a safer saner country.
2. Why wasn't Ehud Barak's "Independence" party mentioned?

3. Livni
Ron M ,   South TA / Zion.   (04.30.12)
It's a relief to see that YNET's Tzipi Livni fetish is still alive and well. Who else would have thought to poll Lapid's almost non existent party with the non existent totally fantasy based Livni option? Classic. Let it go already.. She was defeated.
4. I call on all citizens
Sagi   (04.30.12)
to place a total boycott on any upcoming elections. Do not go to the polling booth. Do not vote for any party. This is the only way to force our so called poiticians to change our electoral and party systems. Democracy starts at the ballot box and it should continue, but unfortunately because of our flawed system it stops dead in its tracks exactly two minutes after the exit poll is announced and thereafter until the next elections the citizens of this "democratic" country are subjected to a form of government that cannot even be described as quasi democratic. Our elected parties play power games for seats and influence on the backs of the people. There is only one way to stop this madness and that is to boycott them and their parties and by doing so to force them to radically change the system to one which will guarantee a government by the people and for the people. Enough is enough. Please do not vote. This sort of public protest is worth a million tent cities in Rothschild blvd. it will bring results.
5. Leftist coalition
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (04.30.12)
Shas is not a Right-wing party, but a sectorial party. The reality of Israeli politics is that the extreme Left can give Shas much more than Likud can, for example no army service and more money. The extreme-Left buying Shas to the detriment of Israel has been a reality of Israeli politics since Peres' stinking deal: Oslo under Rabin, the failed Barak regime, the Kadima kleptocracy especially under "Honest Olmert". It is possible that the elections will bring an extreme-Left / Shas government.
6. #1: yes, please leave
Yitzhak ,   Israel   (04.30.12)
it would be a good thing for this country if more right-wingers like you would think seriously about leaving, and to return Israeli politics back to the pragmatists who founded this state, and to leave behind the messianic nut-jobs who think God is on our side. if God is on our side, where was He in Auschwitz, Treblinka and Jerusalem in the year 70CE?
7. #6
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (04.30.12)
Yizhak, you make us laugh. The "pragmatists" (Orwellian for Messianic extreme-Left) failed to defeat the First Intifada and gave us the first Oslo War and second Oslo war killing 2000 Jewish civilians and countless Arab civilians. They gave us Hamas in Gaza and Hezbolla in Lebanon, lost the Second Lebanon War and Cast Lead, forced 1/3 of Israeli Jews into rocket shelters. All this while almost destroying the economy three times and bringing ccorruption to new records. Thanks to the extreme Left, Israel is now less democratic, less legitimate and in greater existential danger than ever before. All the Right-wingers have managed to do is clean up after the extreme-Left with only limited success. #1 is just expressing puzzlement at the insanity and stupidity of so many Israelis who, despite the evidence, adhere to messianic fantasies while marching onto the trains.
8. @#2
Moshe ,   Rehovot, Israel   (04.30.12)
Barak's party has consistently failed to garner any support in any of the polls that have been conducted since Atzmaut's creation.
9. #8 Tell me something I don't know.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.30.12)
It's just my dry sense of humor that even Ynet many times doesn't understand, otherwise they wouldn't reject so many of my comments.
10. These Polls
Judah ,   Jerusalem   (04.30.12)
Its a 100% sure that these polls will not reflect the election results. It's a 100% sure that the right-religious block will have a comfortable majority. And It's a 100% sure that Shas will do better than these polls suggest. It's always been like taht and particularly with early polls
11. Interesting Poll Way Off
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (04.30.12)
According to Jpost on Saturday their poll was different. "Altogether, the Right-Center bloc would win 67 seats and the Left-Center bloc 53. The split in the current Knesset is 65-55."
12. # 4
Philip ,   Afula, Israel   (04.30.12)
Agree with you 100% about the "system"
