In direct contravention of my wife's explicit instructions, herewith I inaugurate my first blog. Long may it prosper.

For some reason, I think I have something to say to you. You think you have something to say to me? Email me at: gideonsblogger -at- yahoo -dot- com

 
The near-total collapse of Yisrael B'Aliyah continues to depress me. I sincerely hope that efforts to rebuild and to broaden the appeal of the party are successful. Yisrael B'Aliyah should be to Likud what the Free Democrats are to the CDU: a Liberal (European sense) party of ideas that is the natural coalition partner for the Center-Right party of government. I hope that by the next election, voters who are pulling the lever for Shinui and National Union will seriously consider a party that represents the best ideas of both without their worst features.
