Regardless of the extent of personal rivalries (if any, BTW, do the different sides send each other shlach manos? that’s a good idea whether they are really such rival?), the math is such that together they might get six seats, and separately neither will make the 2.5% miniumum.
They are all experienced at politics, and learned enough math to act appropriately.

The above decision was made Rav Eliyashuv, Gerer Rebbe and the other Gedolim from Moetzes.
It is shame that after all the effort of Rav Eliashov in MAKING SHOLOM between Degel and Agudah, someone would want to ruin it.

Menachem Eliezer MoseS is Meuchedet (Vizhnitz) not Merkazit.

Just how are Degel, Merkazit, Shlomei Emunim, and the other members of Gimel (if any) different. In other words, if they were on separate tickets, why would someone vote for one over the other (other than because your rav told you to)?
