Yaacov Lozowick on the results of the Israeli election:
What is clear is that there are only two possibilities. The positive one is that three of the four larger parties will set up a governing coaltion that will be stable, possibly efficient, and could serve us well. I think that’s what the voters wanted in the first place: a large centrist coalition, perhaps right-leaning but not fatally so…The negative possibility is that we end up with a narrow majority of everyone on the right, many of whom are incompatible with each other, where the agendas of the far right will dictate all sorts of foolishness, we’ll be treated to to a year or two of high political drama, and the next elections will be in 2010.
It could go either way.
