So, Israel is having an election tomorrow, and I thought I'd start a thread about it. Some very interesting developments have occured politically.
A new centrist political party, Kadima, will probably win. Whereas there were previously 2 major parties and lots of little ones, there are now 3 major parties. From what I hear, the debate has been far less partisan and nasty as usual.
I think that the 3 parties won't last for long. Kadima is likely to replace likud as the second party, and labor might be replaced as well.
I think its interesting that Sharon's illness and the election of Hamas has not changed Israeli's minds in terms of who to vote for. I'm optumistic about the direction in which this is going.
