I do not think Feiglin had anything to do with a pleimutmng of the seats in the Likud. This is Feiglin\'s ego that makes this claim.Netanyahu simply wanted to weaken his party in order to make it easier for Kadima and or Labor to join his coalition. Had the Likud received 35 seats, it would have been hard for either to join. It was another win-win situation for Netanyahu. Make statements that appear as if you are leaning left, and lose some Likud votes to the right (especially all of Feiglin\'s people) and all the time you know that even if you end up with less than Kadima, you will still be asked to form the coalition government.Netanyahu is well aware of the fact that the majority of the country leans to the right. That is why he has nothing to fear.That is also why there is a good chance that Likud will stay in power for some years to come. Netanyahu understands that the pressure from outside Israel is tremendous and having a right wing government just gives the goyim all the excuse they need to label Netanyahu and the Likud as extremists and make Netanyahu\'s life miserable. As it is, they make it miserable.Am I happy with his policies? No. But until there is a legitimate challenger to Bibi who can win (in the Likud), he is what we are stuck with. And I will take him over Livni any day, any time, any place. And be forewarned, any challenger to Bibi within the Likud may prove to be just as bad be it a Danon, a Boogey, a Feiglin etc.
