Even before all the votes have been tallied, we saw two more spins courtesy of Kadima's publicists. Firstly, Netanyahu is seemingly trying to "steal" the elections; secondly, should Netanyahu form a narrow rightist government, it would upset Barack Obama and disconnect us from Western Europe and from the civilized world.
The new spins may be used as a pretext by President Shimon Peres, the master of political tricks and creative shticks, for tasking Tzipi Livni with forming the next government or promoting a coalition comprising Likud, Kadima, and the Labor party.
However, even if fairness and commonsense will prevail, and the task of forming the government will be assigned to Likud, as is appropriate, Netanyahu must not fear a narrow rightist government. The opposite is true – he should prefer it over a terrible and fragile coalition with two leftist parties. In such coalition, these two parties, Kadima and Labor, may constitute a government majority and neutralize the possibility of outlining the realistic policies desired by most voters.
