Israeli Exit Polls

Quote:
JERUSALEM – Exit polls show that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party and his hard-line allies have won a narrow majority in parliamentary elections.

I thought this was interesting:
Quote:
"We've seen a political learning curve. He's improved from his first time around," said Efraim Inbar, director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University. "He has a legacy when it comes to the economy: more than anyone else in Israel, he is identified with liberalizing the economy and shifting the country toward capitalism."
Perhaps fortunately, apparently the term 'liberalizing' means different things to different people.

What "hard line"? Everything is so fuzzy here, and none of the politicians are who they say they are.

And yes, "liberalizing" in Israel means something completely different from the American definition.
