There's 56. We could use a few more right-wingers.
And how the hell did Olmert score as high as 3% in this survey? Did YNet poll his entire extended family?
Michael,
"And how the hell did Olmert score as high as 3% in this survey? Did YNet poll his entire extended family?"
More likely they polled all the people Olmert has paid off and all the people who have bribed him.
I hadn't thought of that, Carl... Good point.
with 1/5 of all mandates undecided how reliable is this?
Carl:
How does the Israeli government function, with a PM whose approval rating is effectively 3%?
Am I missing something? How can this even exist???
Soccer Dad,
I would assume that the undecided's will be divided between left and right in roughly the same proportion as the decided's.
Red Tulip,
The government functions because there is no personal accountability and every time there is a critical vote, they call for 'coalition discipline' by turning it into a vote of no confidence. And the 78 MK's in the government who don't want to lose their jobs vote with the government.
