Elections
The first time I voted I was in the middle of my military service, on May 1996, after the Rabin assasination.
I missed the 1999 elections, exactly 3 years later, because I was in the middle of my European trip, somewhere in Austria.
I did vote the next time, January 2003, in the middle of the second Intifada.
And now I get to vote again, on tuesday, the middle of next week.
It seems like the winnig party will be Kadima, the party created by Sharon just before he had his stroke. This means the PM will be Olmert, who was once the mayor of Jerusalem. I don't plan to vote for them, and anyways a week's a long time in my part of the world, anything can happen.
A taste of the campaigning can be found here (no, it's not porn).
