So you say you want to get rid of the Electoral College

Oh for Christ's sake:
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz has two and a half days left until the deadline Wednesday night, when he must present a government to the Knesset or admit that he has failed to form a coalition in the designated 28 days. Then it’s open season: Failure to form a government would spark an unprecedented stage in the already protracted coalition building process in which any Knesset member would be eligible to try, also in 21 days, to collect the signatures of at least 61 of the 120 MKs each recommending that he or she form a government. If any MK succeeds, they will then be given 14 days to try and form a coalition. And then, finally, if that Knesset member were to fail to form a coalition, elections would be called for the first Tuesday at least 90 days later: March 3, 2020.
Holy Moses? The many arms of Vishnu? Lords of Kobol? Finagle's Ghost.* JFC, I don't know.

We suppose Avigdor Liberman has the best shot at throwing a coalition together, but that's just a guess.

That'll be a year since the first election. Bibi is going to extend his time in office by a year via intransigence, isn't he?

This is Algore's wet dream. Remember how he fouled things up in 2000? The man could run wild here. I may not have him win World War 1990: Election '92 afterall.

Prick.

*Figure out where that's from, I dare you. No Googling!
