Need a thread title update
ההיסטוריה מלמדת שהבוחרים מוכנים לסלוח לתחמנים. לפראיירים לא.
Amit Segal had an interesting line about Gantz's prospects for the upcoming elections:
We should have a vote on an appropriate title, here are some suggestions:Periodic Israeli elections starting April 2019.Bibi's periodic re-election.A kindergarten called Israeli politics runs periodic elections.
So true. Does he really think he stands a chance to gain seats?
The idea is that he'll lose less by having elections now than having elections later in 2021 after Bibbi brings a vaccine ahead of most of the rest of the world
by the time they go to vote they will already have the vaccine
So true. Does he really think he stands a chance to gain seats?I vote for option c
Now with Sa'ar starting his own party, we are almost guaranteed another deadlock
More parties = higher odds someone will cave and agree to sit with Bibbi. The real fear is that there very well may be 61 anti Bibbi seats without the Arabs and the only thing standing in their way from uniting to dethrone Bibbi will be ego and political ineptitude.
I don't think that will happen. Arabs have a low-end of 12. Chareidim 16. Likud 25. That's already 53 seats. I really don't see the remaining seats being capable of creating a coalition. Only way it happens is if Lieberman hates Bibi more than he hates the Charedim and sells his soul to Gafne
Lieberman very well may do that, but even without that if Meretz doesn't pass, you have 67 anti Bibbi Centerist/Right parties, who have no substantial obstacle to unifying to dethrone him. I can also see Meretz joining in just for dethroning Bibbi.
How do you get 67?Which parties are you including?
B&W Yamina Sa’ar Liberman Yesh AtidI don’t think they will have the seats, and I don’t think they can pull it off even if they do, but this is the doomsday scenario
