You see...I dont know because I dont follow Israeli politics that closely, so an answer to those questions would help.

Sorry, I don't follow Israeli politics either, so I'm not sure what promises (if any) Netanyahu made. Nonetheless, the fact remains that he is Israel's PM despite his party having won fewer seats than another.
Also, do you recall Peter MacKay in 2003 promising (pointedly and specifically) that he would
not merge the Progressive Conservatives with the Canadian Alliance Party if he was chosen as the PC leader? He, of course, did exactly what he said he wouldn't do less than a year later. Does it impact your opinion of the CPC because one of the leaders once promised that he would never form a coalition with the other?
