I know we are not that interesting, but since the world does tend to follow everything which someone here says, if any of you has any Qs, I'll be happy to answer :-)

Looks like a coalition? In the UK we used to think they were no sort of government at all but we've had one for several years now and things are no worse than usual. I've no idea whether Israel has a history of them or not?

There's always a coalition of a sort, question is who assembles it...
In any case, re Brittish gov, I can only say I bet Secret State (BBC) is true for the UK as it is for any other western state...

Apologies if I am missing something blindingly obvious, but I'm confused by that sentence and not really sure what you are trying to say.  Care to explain a bit please?

I meant that nowawdays financial interests dictate much of the governance, all around the globe. Thus, the specific coalition structure (in IL) does not affect much.
