There is a well-known game, which is played at children’s birthday parties the world over. It’s called musical chairs, where the participants compete to be able to sit down on a limited number of chairs. The winners are all those who get a seat – the losers are all those who do not.
In Israel, there is a very similar game, involving child-like squabbling over a limited number of seats. It is played every few years, and goes by the name of the general election.
A little over a month ago, elections to the 18th Knesset were held. The centrist Kadima party, headed up by Tzipi Livni won the most seats, gaining 28 out of the 120 available. Likud (right wing) came in second place, gaining 27 seats, followed by Yisrael Beiteinu (very right wing) with 15 and the left-wing Labour party with 13.
