Israeli pundits are having a field day. What / who / how a political coalition is going to emerge from the present balygan is being predicted and prognosticated every which way. Lieberman left the country, leaving Bibi & Livni to either stew separately or sit together without him. He'll be back in a few days with his final say. Labor is already out, saying they will sit in the oppostion and Olmert is advising Livni to sit in the opposition, favoring Netanyahu to form the government without Kadima. This might sound odd, but....hmmm, there could be a lot of reasons. The given one is that a right wing government will be unstable especially with Lieberman in it, and soon Kadima will be back in.
In addition to the above, whatever coalition comes together STILL has to develop and pass the budget for the new Knesset. IF a budget cannot be approved, then it's back to square one....and Kadima would be asked to come back in and try to form a coalition.
It will be interesting if no one can accomplish the dual tasks ahead, coalition plus budget. Then what???
Stay tuned... Isn't Israel fun? Never a dull moment, for sure.
