As for the assertion in your last sentence, when has the State of Israel, with its eternal coalitions and perpetual political turmoil masquerading as "democracy" <b>ever</b> been able to "maintain a stable coalition"?<br /><br />There might be a "stable", but unfortunately the horse bolted long, long ago.<br />Darth Zeidahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885872955106929227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-68997812755528590422013-01-22T03:39:54.972+02:002013-01-22T03:39:54.972+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Darth Zeidahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885872955106929227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-58438876533796064342013-01-22T00:36:33.017+02:002013-01-22T00:36:33.017+02:00I don't agree with you annonymous.

That is the advabtage of the electoral system in Israel. A coalition is made up of main parties and small parties. There is a little advantage to this as opposed to the us where the special interest groups take over both major parties to a much bigger scale. Here we know who the special interets are and whet their place is in the bigger picture. So go ahead and vote for your special interests and let likud run the government and cater to whichever special interest parties they feel will help them maintain a stable coalition.
