With 90% of the votes in, it appears the exit polls were quite accurate, but there are nonetheless a number of changes. For one thing, Kadima crosses the minimum threshold and enters the 19th Knesset and Labor drops some of its seats. Shas becomes the fourth largest party, and Yahadut Hatorah earns a seventh seat.
1. Likud/Beitenu: 31
2. Yesh Atid: 19
3. Labor: 15 (drops two seats from exit polls)
4. Shas: 12
5. Bayit HaYehudi: 11
6. Yahadut Hatorah: 7
7. The Movement: 6
8. Meretz: 6
9. Ra’am-Ta’al and Hadash: 4
10. Hadash: 3
11. Kadima: 2 (Exit poll shows it did not pass minimum threshold)
Right-wing/chareidim: 61
Left-wing/Arabs: 59

Right wing/Chareidim at 61 is the best case scenario. What about Likud + Yesh Atid + Bayit HaYehudi + Hatenua = 67? Livni will do anything to be in power and so will Lapid.
