Sharon's Big Move
While I was suprised at the timing of the move, I wasn't surprised at the move. Ariel has been threatening this move for the better part of a year and the fact that it has finally occured really shouldn't be a surprise.
Several news agencies are referring to this as a political earthquake. But I am not sure I agree. Basically in the long run the 'centrist' National Responsibility Party will probably merger with Shinui and just become a bigger 'centrist' party.
What this will do is push Labor further to the left and Likud further to the right, but I am not sure that Sharon will really benefit in the next election by his move.
