..I shudder to think of any gov't that livni is a part of...too scary..

If this articles and others like it don't prove that Israeli needs a major political overhaul then I do not know what it will take for people to open their eyes and look at reality, Currently, the will of the voters is incidental to what happens, It doesn't matter if the majority vote right wing--coalitions are formed based on the games of politicians. It is way past time for direct elections of a prime minister followed by direct elections of representatives. The government needs to be made up of those INDIVIDUALS voted for by the people. The prime minister needs to be the person the MAJORITY of people want. Today it seems to be who will sell themselves to the highest bidder and who is more willing to ignore their campaign and what they allegedly stood for when they appealed to the voter!
