Election results update

The numbers changed a little.

The winners


  • Kadima 29 (up from 28)

  • Likud 12 (up from 11)

  • Meretz 5 (up from 4)

The losers:


  • Shas 12 (down from 13)

  • Lieberman 11 (down from 12)

  • Raam-Tal 3 (down from 4)


This changes things a bit as now Olmert in theory can make a coalition of
Kadima - 29
Labor - 20
Meretz - 5
Pensioners - 7

61 seats without any of the right wing parties.

This may lead to the right wing supporting Amir Peretz for PM.

The next few weeks will be very interesting
