It's all about ME

If you ever had any doubts that opposition leader Tzipi Livni is all about Tzipi Livni and her huge ego, consider this: Livni has announced that if she loses her party's primary to second in command Shaul Mofaz, she will not support him in a general election.

Opposition leader Tzipi Livni declined to commit to stay in politics and support the winner of the Kadima leadership race if she loses, Livni's rival, MK Shaul Mofaz, said Thursday following a meeting with her.

...

"Every candidate must respect the decision of the voters and stand behind whoever is elected to head the party in order to help defeat Netanyahu," Mofaz said he told Livni.

Mofaz also asked for an independent arbiter to monitor the election to ensure that it would be administered fairly. He said the primary should be held as soon as possible in order to help the victor prepare properly for a race against Netanyahu.

"There is no choice other than advancing the primary," Mofaz said following the meeting. "Any other decision would indicate that [Livni] is acting according to her own personal interest and not for the good of the party. She must display responsibility and not run away from making a decision."

Livni said she would consult with all 28 Kadima MKs before making a decision about when the primary should be held. She has said publicly on many occasions that she has already decided to advance the primary, which Kadima bylaws state should be held within three months of the next general election that is currently set for October 2013.

Please. Let her leave politics. We don't need self-absorbed leaders like her.
