Arik (nickname for Sharon) is the best. There was a vote on proposal to join with Labor to form a coalition. There is great opposition in Likud to disengageent. Arik wanted a hand vote so he could see where each Minister stood. It was decided to have the vote by electronic buttons. When it came time for the vote the system had mysteriously gone down. So the vote was held by hand and Arik lost. He has said that those who voted against him are idiots and he will ignore the vote and negotiate with Labor anyway. He has never, throughout his career worried about means. The end is all that matters to him. Not having a 2 party system it is difficult to get anything done with all the parties and factions. One thing he does have is the support of the people. Terrorism is not much of a problem anymore and the economy is thriving.
