Good news all the way around. The addition of Shas would end any leverage the rebels have and balance the addition of Labor with more conservative voices. Passing the budget would mean that the new coalition won't fall in March.

sources close to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned that if the bill was rejected, Sharon would not hesitate to call on new elections.
Heh... that's excellent as a threat, since Sharon would win, and would find his position solidified. Although it's difficult to believe that anyone wants his job just now. ;') Thanks for the ping.

Something I don't get about Shinui:
Thanks to their leaving the coalition government, UTJ and now possibly Shas are in it. They left over pork for UTJ, if I recall correctly - surely it would be more important for them to stay in government and prevent a lurch to the right.
