The news is that the Mafdal, National Religious Party leaders have disbanded the party.  No, they haven't left politics.  They have just decided that the party should metamorphis into something new, more marketable.  So, is the NRP dead?

Israeli politicians, Left, Right and Center, are running around in a panicky tizzy.  It reminds me of the game "Musical Chairs," when the music stops and everyone's trying to quickly find a seat, so they won't be left standing and then forced to leave the game.
