I have a strong feeling that Leiberman will surprise all of us by not passing the threshold. (minimum 4 seats.)
This time around he really doesn’t have much going for him. Nothing unique about his party.
Once on the subject, Meretz hopefully won’t pass the threshold, because it’s core base of voters will vote for Herzog because there is a possibility he can be prime minister.
At least that might balance it out so the right can still form a govt.
Just a thought….
