Several years ago we had a single candidate for the Rector of our University. The guy got less than 50% of the votes presenting alone, so by our rules he could not become a Rector and he left with a very bad blood. So maybe the likudniks would vote with their feet and BB would have to allow for a different leader. I am sure most are fed up with him and especially with his second half.

Is this the anointed one that the Israeli right has been looking for? Is it time to declare theocracy? or Is it time to declare monarchy?

Elections must be for the district of tel aviv within the state . A state within a state is not allowed by the PM.

That's the only qualification a Prime Minister of Israel needs. Inside political and arab terrorism is run by the High Court of Injustice.

Obama is going, time for Bibi to go too. Likud starts to look like some east european "people democracy" or North Korea with a unique candidate.

How rare it is for brothers to dwell pleasantly together since normally a man's enemies are the men of his own house, Scriptures tells us. The house in this case is the Likud. That is quite remarkable.

if the NIS 4 million they could save is provided by the gov Finance Ministry, skip the party primaries. if the Nis 4 million is from private fundraiding, make the donators names be published and celebrate elections with new fresh candidates

That is the dumbest comment I've read in a long time and there are plenty of them.

one thing about yaalon- though he has shown no appetite for taking charge of dismantling as earlier land generals could and have done, he is unafraid of blood. he can attack hezbollah 1000 x regardless of hassan's blood curdling threats which he i good at. herzog on the other hand has no guts to attack hezbollah- he would run to the USA like livni has, and obama would do nothing about russian rockets in hezbollah hands. note that ehud barak was also very reluctant to hezbollah. yaalon has no such compunction though bibi wavers.

Having someone that can speak American english so clearly is important. When BiBi speaks before congress he is applauded and appreciated. Don't let the leftist anti Israeli Tel Aviv naval gazers tell you what is good for Israel and for that matter the jewish people . If you want israel to survive and thrive support Bibi. If not STFU and find somewhere else that suits you better. like Iran or Gaza.

Since he is a self appointed leader. There is no need to waste taxpayer money ,unnecessary expense.

not only is deri unqualified for any security portfolio just as a prior religious minister did not know a thing about the need to have fire fighting planes(neither did bibi for that matter, the fact that he was convicted of a crime also makes him unfit. That weinstein says the cooling off period has elapsed so deri can serve is poppycock. \it would be like letting olmert be pm again, running another war with hezbollah and this time losing 150,000 israelis. \olmert has no feel for security, and cannot be trusted. \deri is the same. That bibi could not find a non security portfolio for deri shows how a man with a high IQ can sometimes be so bloody stupid. I agree with attorney nitzan and rarely but this time lapid who oppose deri. Pull the damn nomination.

They cannot blame Netanyahu for the fact that only his name is on the ballot because in a primary any party member is allowed to stand for the leadership but nobody else chose to stand. If nobody else wants to try then Netanyahu will be the only name and so he is guaranteed to win
