If you’re already sick of Israeli Elections politics, then I’m sorry, but we have two and a half months to go, and then there’s the coalition building/dealing…
It’s not hard to guess what the Israeli Left will campaign about during the 2015, 5775 Knesset Elections season. The Left will go for economics:
- Housing should be cheaper! “It’s not fair that we can’t afford a large apartment (or house) in the neighborhood of our dreams.”
- Food here in Israel is too expensive! Pudding is cheaper in Germany!
- Hospitals are too crowded, because the Netanyahu government hasn’t built enough hospitals or rooms.
- Hotels in Israel are too expensive.
- Universities should be free and acceptance should be easy.
- Taxes are too high.
- Cars are too expensive.
I have a feeling that the chareidi parties will campaign to appeal the latest draft laws and accompanying fines. They’ll certainly expect that as payment to join the coalition, and without them, neither Bibi nor Herzog-Livni can form a viable government.
Naftali Bennett and his NRP aka Bayit Yehudi, Jewish Home Party, will probably try a Land of Israel-security campaign. That way he can pick up the disgruntled Feiglin voters who will give up on the Likud and also some of the former Lieberman, Yisrael Beiteinu, Israel’s our Home Party who have finally realized they had been conned.
The Arab parties will do their usual:]
