Sorry, but the argument that more people should have voted Likud and we wouldn't be in this boat just doesn't hold water.
The argument goes that a stronger Likud would not have been forced to give such key positions to the Left-wing parties.
And their mistake in the argument is exactly in that answer.
From the beginning, Bibi said he will not form a Right-Wing government, and he wanted to bring the Left in.
So bigger or not, Bibi planned on setting up a Left-leaning government. And if he was bigger than Kadima, then Kadima would have joined him in the end as they wouldn't have the whole "I'm bigger than you" issue to deal with.
And Bibi still would have had to give them key positions.
And like I said in the beginning, if only more people had voted Right, then Bibi would not have had a choice but to include Right-wing parties in the coalition and offered them key seats.
Unfortunately Feiglin and others convinced far too many people to vote Likud and now we are all paying for it.
I sleep well at night knowing I voted the right way, and in the coalition or not my representatives will be fighting for what I believe in.
But I'm sure Feiglin also sleeps well at night, because he still doesn't understand that he made a mistake pushing his fellow settlers and right-wingers to vote for a party that simply won't represent or implement their views.
No matter how many Likud MKs Bibi has spurned and insulted, as Bibi forms his government, Feiglin's call for Bibi to quit (for not bringing in more seats) just sound like sour grapes.
