Some minor changes have resulted from counting the outstanding votes.
Except for providing Olmert with 61 nearly guaranteed disengagement votes (assuming the Gimlaim vote as he wants), as of yet I can't see it affecting anything else besides some internal perceptions (and 6 specifically happy or disappointed individuals).
For a potential Labor coalition it doesn't effectively change anything, except make the idea much more interesting to Shas and Lieberman now that they are less important to Kadima. It may also make the idea more interesting to Labor as they can still get rid of any (at least one) choice of partners and still have 61.
In short, the idea is still doable and even more favorable to Avoda if Peretz really wants to be Prime Minister and not second string.

- Kadima 29 (up from 28)
- Likud 12 (up from 11)
- Meretz 5 (up from 4)

- Lieberman 11 (down from 12)
- Raam-Tal 3 (down from 4)

- Avoda 20
...(Prime Minister, Foreign, Finance, Industry-Trade, Labor, Education) - Shas 12
...(Interior, Justice, Construction&Housing) - Likud 12
...(Agriculture, Communications) - Lieberman 11
...(Defense, Security, Transportation) - Gimlaim 7
...(Health) - UTJ 6
...(Deputy Minister - they don't like taking full responsibility) - Meretz 5
...(Environment)
In short, the idea is still doable and even more favorable to Avoda if Peretz really wants to be Prime Minister and not second string.
