Survey: Most Israelis dissatisfied with election results
<snip>

"The Likud Party launched official coalition talks a day after a new study found that most Israelis are dissatisfied with the election results.

A negotiating team appointed by Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu and led by lawmaker Gideon Sa'ar, began formal coalition talks Wednesday afternoon, beginning with the Israel Beiteinu Party led by Avigdor Lieberman.

A newly released study on Tuesday, found that 17 percent of Israeli voters polled said they were satisfied with the election results, while 43 percent said they were dissatisfied. Thirty-five percent were found to be somewhere in-between, with 5 percent unsure.

The survey, which conducted 600 telephone interviews Feb. 17-18 for The War and Peace Index, commissioned by the Tami Steinmetz Center for Peace Research and the Evens Program in Mediation and Conflict Resolution of Tel Aviv University, also found that 90 percent would still vote for the same party.

The survey also found that 43 percent of Israelis defined themselves as right wing, 26 percent as center, 20 percent as left wing and the rest undecided."

1. They will get another chance shortly
I don't see how this coalition will last. Let's see that pendulum swing back the left. Perhaps the dawn of a new party?
