If this is a democracy, what is not?

Livni became a prime minister of Israel with the lead of 431 votes over Mofaz. He could have easily won in a coalition with Dichter or Sheetrit.
Livni’s victory is somehow related to the odd extension of voting time for half an hour until 10.30pm. The extension was requested by her staff and granted on the spot. Apparently, Livni squeezed in a number of additional voters in the afterhours.
Livni takes over the Olmert’s infamous record of being elected with the least number of votes.
About 35,000 of Kadima members took part in the primaries, half of them in the late hours which makes the elections seem rigged.
