Better Luck Next Time

Maybe even in Israel a party can become too narrow in its special interest platform. It appears that the Green Leaf Graduates and Holocaust Survivors' Party, despite combining marijuana legalization and protecting Holocaust Suvivors' pensions as its combined raison d'etre, will not win any seats in the 18th Knesset. Perhaps the fact that there were two marijuana legalization parties running (the original Green Leaf Party being the one the Green Leaf Graduates split off from) diluted the vote.
