Netanyahu continues mega-bribery

Having created the largest government ever, with 30 good-for-nothing ministers, Netanyahu continues down that path. He guaranteed two new ministries and several deputy ministries to Kadima MKs who are ready to leave their party.

Netanyahu fears defections from Likud—whose many MKs are dissatisfied with his cowardly policies— and has to split Kadima, which could otherwise vote his government out.

Meanwhile, Kadima is trying to bring the Labor Party dissidents to its Knesset faction.

An electoral system in which people vote for long party lists populated by largely unknown candidates who then enjoy independence in the Knesset invites corruption.
