So, I think it's going to be a while before we get any of them. <BR/><BR/>Those votes definitely swing right. So, it's likely that Likud will gain one seat from those votes to pull into a tie. The settlement votes could be interesting, though, as settlers tend represent a rather extreme right-wing form of Zionism. Hence, it might be more likely that seats gained from settlement votes will go to the more hardcore right-wing parties like National Union or Jewish Home.Adam Brickley, aka "ElephantMan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04584746741195370549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458189219288251457.post-87659330790604164982009-02-10T16:32:00.000-08:002009-02-10T16:32:00.000-08:00Adam,Do you know how many of the settlements have ...Adam,<BR/><BR/>Do you know how many of the settlements have been counted yet?Steven Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672454445292518686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458189219288251457.post-73589604595663587372009-02-10T12:53:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:53:00.000-08:00Lord, I can't stand the pressure.Seriously.The wro...Lord, I can't stand the pressure.<BR/>Seriously.<BR/>The wrong PM, and Israel is toast.<BR/>(sigh.... literally....)Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02769128324708937101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458189219288251457.post-76913252298771741492009-02-10T08:40:00.000-08:002009-02-10T08:40:00.000-08:00I'm rooting for Netanyahu.

Though there is so much horse trading required to build a majority that it could be a while before we know exactly who gets what position. The only way we would have a major PM issue is if Livni and Kadima wins the most seats, but their left wing coalition partners win a lesser total than Naetanyahu and Likud's right wing backers - which is highly possible. Under that situation, there is the possibility that Livni will get the first chance to form a colaition, fail to reach a Knesset majority, and then the majority will elect Netanyahu even though he heads the second-largest party. So, we will have a clear winner if Likud wins the most seats, but not if Kadima wins the most.Adam Brickley, aka "ElephantMan"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04584746741195370549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458189219288251457.post-77427520377987176162009-02-10T07:37:00.000-08:002009-02-10T07:37:00.000-08:00Thanks for the updates Adam, I guess I shouldn't b...Thanks for the updates Adam, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the major networks aren't covering this. <BR/>So, the voters are just electing members to the Knesset, right, and then the Knesset votes for PM? So how soon will we know who the PM is? Thanks, and please correct me if I'm wrong.huskyonspeedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867622150829638291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458189219288251457.post-86021606858920075062009-02-09T22:55:00.000-08:002009-02-09T22:55:00.000-08:00Dittos on Everything Mountian Mama said!
