Opinions? A good thing, a bad thing? A step in the right, or a step in the wrong direction?

Personally I don't expect anything good to come from a Likud government :juggle2:

Im not holding out much hope, from various things i have read he seems to have a more extreme position than his opposition candidate. I fear all this will just be dumping petrol on the fire that is the Israeli - Palestinian conflict... though it would be nice to be wrong...

A step way over towards the right direction.

I think that the peace process now has even less chance of being successful. Not that there was much hope anyway...

i think its a shame, i wanted a kadima run government.

bloody PR voting and coalition politics! :no:

[Hooahguy]

personally im happy.
i didnt like livni anyhow....

[Husar]

Well, they get what they voted for, and the others get what they couldn't vote for as well.
So everybody is happy or not.
If that doesn't make sense then I probably agree with LittleGrizzly.

I'm disappointed, mostly with the fact that the utra-right got so much support. That Lieberman guy really gets on my nerves.
