Very scary
1. There is no “race” for Prime Minister. They tried that about 20 years ago, and ended up with a Labor prime minister and a right-wing kenesset.
2. The Arab parties united and are gaining only one extra seat.
3. If the two religious parties that will get no seats were united with someone, it would shift perhaps seven seats to the “right” of the spectrum. Given the tradition bias in polls against religious and Sefardi, Yishai might make the threshold.
4. Other than the impact of the splintering of the religious parties, the results are ideologically unchanged from last election in term of nationalists-socialists (right-left) balance.
