"Just not Buji;" Just not Bibi"
Bibi Buji
That was the election campaign. |
More on the talks PM Netanyahu has been having with Isaac Buji Herzog about his joining the very minimalist coalition. The other day, in
Jeremy's blog, it was written that the polls show that the Israeli public does not want to see Labor aka Zionist Union in the coalition. Polls are showing that Herzog's support is quickly waning and moving to Yair Lapid
en masse. So, right now, Herzog with a possible 24 MKs is highly overvalued, and he's trying to take advantage of it.
18 [11] Yesh Atid
17 [24] Zionist Union
Do you support Zionist Union joining the government?
General Public: 52% No, 24% Yes, 24% Don’t know
Zionist Union voters: 60% No, 36% Yes, 4% Don’t know
So, it's pretty obvious that Buji sees Bibi as his lifeline to political survival. Jeremy's latest post concentrates on the question of whom the public wants to see joining the coalition,
Knesset Channel Poll: 41% want Liberman to join Netanyahu Government.
All these political machinations just show us how far removed coalition politics is from the will of the people.

| Will Bibi and Buji make a deal? |
Let's see what they haggle out. And I have no doubts that Herzog really want in, because it's his last chance, though he most probably won't manage to take all his MKs with him. The big question is if the deserters will go independent or join Yair Lapid. What do you think and why? Please comment, thanks.
