It's the blog of a Jewish-American electoral systems scholar (political science prof at the U of San Diego) talking about how he would vote if he were Israeli and how the voting system would affect his choices.
Wow, that article summed up exactly what I feel about these elections. I also took the political compass test a few days ago, and -- not that it's an exact measure for anything, really -- it put me as 78% Kadima, and 75% Meretz and Hadash, so his voting dilemma is pretty much the same as mine. I seriously did not know who I was going to vote for until I stepped into the booth; in the end, I voted for Kadima, ie the big party. I'm looking forward to seeing the poll results tonight, but because I think this election might be close, I don't think we can rely on tonight's results much.
PS - out of curiosity - did you try taking the Compass test? (You can take it in Dutch! *g*)
(oh, also one of my favorite UB things - although honestly fandom kind of went apeshit after UB so there was a LOT of stuff going on - is an icon of the moment when Lee shakes hands with Sam that says "Hi! I fucked your wife last night!" HAHAHA)
For me, I think the competition is between the shot of Lee when his dad tells him what happened, I mean both Lee's general punched-in-the-gut reaction and Papadama BASICALLY CHEWING A SANDWICH while delivering the news is awesome, and the final shots of K/L hanging on each other, whispering "I missed you". BECAUSE MY HEART BROKE INTO A MILLION PIECES OF HAPPINESS.
Looking back, UB was actually what drove me into fandom in the first place. I made my first vid ever about UB.
A little late in responding, but as you have probably learned by now, this was correct :-)
However, the gap between Livni and Bbib was so small, that her party's only leading by one mandate. And since the right wing block by far surpresses the left at the moment - to my great despair - it is not at all certain who will be the next PM. Basically, it'll be the one who's able to form the strongest coalition. Which... sucks either way.
