Reply To: Israeli Elections 2013 – Let's Talk Politics

zahavasdad – Once again you show your utter ignorance at the way the Charedi parties work.

For starters, Shas will do anything to keep themselves in power. Forget UTJ….they could not care less about them.

Since you are clueless, I will break it dwon for ya.

Shall I?

– A narrow, right-wing and Charedi coalition of 61 Knesset members comprised of Likud-Beitenu, 31 seats, Bayit Yehudi, 12, Shas 12, UTJ 6.

– A broad coalition of 78 legislators that includes those from centrist parties that said during the election campaign they would be open to a political partnership with Netanyahu:

Likud-Beitenu, 31 seats, Bayit Yehudi, 12, Shas, 12, UTJ, 6, Yesh Atid, 19.

That majority could grow to 102 if the centre-left Labor Party, with a projected 17 seats and former foreign minister Tzipi Livni’s Hatnuah party, with 7, also opt to join a Netanyahu coalition.
