The big winner in the Likud primary election was Education Minister Gideon Saar, who earned the most votes. For residents of Yehuda and Shomron and supporters elsewhere, the big news is that finally, after being ousted by dirty internal politics in the past, Moshe Feiglin has earned a realistic spot and is expected to be an MK in the next government.
The party has clearly moved towards the political right-wing, resulting in Labor Party leader Shelly Yacimovich calling Likud “radical”. In actuality, the party moved in the direction of its political revisionist roots.
The first ten in the party lineup are;
1. Binyamin Netanyahu
2. Gideon Saar
3. Gilad Erdan
4. Silvan Shalom
5. Yisrael Katz
6. Danny Danon
7. Reuven Rivlin
8. Moshe Ya’alon
9. Ze’ev Elkin
10. Tzipi Chotovely
Those emerging without smiles on their faces include party notables who did not earn a realistic slot include Ministers Binyamin Begin, Avi Dichter, Michael Eitan and Dan Meridor.
Feiglin is in the 15th position so barring any major surprises; he should be an MK in the next Knesset.
The 11th to 20th slots as follows:
11. Yariv Levin
12. Yuli Edelstein
13. Chaim Katz
14. Miri Regev
15. Moshe Feiglin
16. Yuval Steinitz
17. Tzachi Hanegbi
18. Limor Livnat
19. Ofir Akonis
20. Gila Gamliel

“Feiglin is in the 15th position so barring any major surprises; he should be an MK in the next Knesset.”
Considering the nature of the Betrayer of Hevron, we should expect him to pull off some sort of dirty trick. I suspect that when they add on the Yisroel Beitenu people for the unified list, there will be an effort to change the order of the Likud list. Possibly on the grounds that it is a new list and the two parties have the right to order the candidate however they wish.
It is a sad day for the Likud when a demogogue like Moshe Feiglin can get a realistic slot on the ticket.
It’s a sad day for the world when an idiot like Moose613 can spew his bile.
