A victorious Kadima plans the way ahead

It seems to have gone unnoticed over here, but Kadima have won the Israeli general election with Likud falling to a surprise 5th place.

Demography is the key to Olmert's plans for Israel apparently.

We're too busy distracting oursleves with illegal immigration discussions and French riots to notice Israeli elections. [img]graemlins/beigesmilewinkgrin.gif[/img]

Home for a week... glory to the Baron!

Now on a more serious note:

Kadima has 28/120 seats. It means that it will have problems forming coalition without some right wing elements.
Likud-12
Shas (Ultra -ortodox) party:12
Our Home Israel (the party of Avigdor Liberman. Supports territory exchange. Pragmatic right.) :11
Yahadut ha Tora (another ultra ortodox):6
National Union-9.
Arabs:10
The party of Old men (pensioners. i do not joke. they were so surprised at finding themselves among the "chosen" that no one knows about their opinion on the palestinian issue. They have entered the knesset because a lot of old people were sick of getting screwed by the government.) : 7
Labor party:20
Meretz (left):5.
Kadima:28

Olmert has problems. Big ones. It is "vulture time" and the corpse of our budget is not so big that he can divide it at his will.
