Right Leaning Israel

A new Israeli poll shows both Likud and the Blue and Whites losing ground and the smaller parties gaining ground. However:
Although Blue and White led the poll, the results showed that Likud together with its likely right-wing allies and ultra-Orthodox parties would still be able to form a majority bloc of 64 seats out of the 120 total in the Knesset, making Netanyahu the most likely candidate to be the next prime minister.
It's not as complicated as it sounds.

Imagine if the GOP broke up into its constituent blocks. There'd be  two main right parties, the GOP led by Jeb Bush, the Trump Party, then several smaller parties. These would include the Libertarians led by Rand Paul, the Constitutionalists led by Ted Cruz, a religious right party led by a Great Plains senator, a McCainist party led by Tom Cotton or maybe Marco Rubio- and so on.

However one wants to look at the Israeli elections, the right looks to be in good shape.
