Quote of the Day

If Netanyahu were to respond positively to all the demands of our partners there would be nothing left for the Likud. A little bit of proportions - let's not forget which is the largest party int he bloc..

  -- MK Danny Danon (Likud)

Danon is 100% right, but that is coalition politics for you. He needs them to form a coalition, so they can hold him over the coals. But they also need him, so he can hold them over the coals a bit. But it has to work equally for all the partners. Netanyahu cannot be overly generous with some of the parties and then tell one party (the largest of the smaller parties) to not worry about jobs and positions and influence. He cant just hold one party over the coals. he used to be able to but so far Smotritch is saying that isnt going to work any more.
