Shinui

[Bryan Atinsky]

Shinui are for mass privitization of the economy and are interested in
ending all forms of welfare. They are for keeping a good portion of the
occupied territories (annexing the large settlement blocs), they are against
any form of unilateral withdrawl, etc.

Further, in the last election, Lapid made it clear that he is NOT for a
complete separation of church and state.  He wants to make sure that the
Jewish character of the state is safe-guarded.

Shinui voted in favor of the 2003 State Budget. It supports widespread
privatization of government corporations and the prevention of government
interference in commercial matters and the party supports government support
for entrepreneurs.

However, most people do not follow closely the Shinui party platform. Many
hear their crys against the religious parties and they want a separation of
Church (synagogue) and State. They don't know that what he wants is merely
an end to all forms of welfare (religious and secular).

I would vote Shas over Shinui any day. (not that I am going to vote for
either of them, I am voting Hadash).
