Bump.  If no coalition is formed, when will the next elections be held?

Early next year, probably. But the chances of a new coalition are pretty small now.

Interesting.  Has anybody seen any polls recently?

Election will be Feb 10th

Interesting; is that an improvement for Likud?

A big one, they had all time loa of 12 seats in the outgoing Knesset because many of their leaders (Sharon, Olmart) moved to Kadima.

I meant in terms of the polls.

Oh, I see. They had 26 to 33 so this one is not that good.

Any idea why?

I guess with some old faces coming back this week to the party (Beny Begin, Dan Meridor) they might come better on the next poll.
