Tzippi Livni worked very hard to get herself a good deal in running a united list with the Labor party. She got decent to good reserved spots for all her 6 MKs, even though her party, Hatnua, has been polling to not pass the minimum threshold.

Livni will be using her spot, as will Amir Peretz.

Amram Mitzna resigned today from politics

Elazar Stern resigned the other day from Hatnua and is looking for something new. Ostensibly because he was not willing to join Labor, but it is probably more complicated than just that.

Dovid Tzur also resigned from Hatnua yesterday.

Maariv is reporting that Meir Shitrit is planning to resign tomorrow from Hatnua.

So, what exactly did Tzippi Livni fight for and conduct all those negotiations over? And, did she not talk to her own people about their plans before agreeing to merge or unite with another party? I wonder if Labor feels ripped off, as they expected these big-name politicians to be working for them come elections time, and now all they have is Livni and Peretz. I also wonder, will Livni now be looking for some names to stick into her reserved spots on the joint list?

Hatnua means "the movement", but it seems like the movement is really in the direction of out the door.
