I am not a Likud member but if I was I would vote for these people.
Ofir Akunis, Gabi Avital, Benny Begin, Danny Danon, Yuli Edelstein, Zeev Elkin, Gilad Erdan, David Hermlin, Yariv Levin, Reuven Rivlin, Gideon Sa’ar and Daniel Tauber
Note: I would probably vote for less than 12 people but I know it is required to vote for at least 12.


Well, I am a Likud member, and I haven’t voted yet. (My wife voted for them, and I saomehow got roped in.) Wouid you like to give some indications as to why?
I chose people that have been good in their jobs, people i like on a personal level, people that i think should be in next knesset.
i think that when a politician does a good job he should be rewarded, re-elected and promoted to a higher office. I added three non-MKs because I think new blood is also important.
Can you perhaps enlighten us on whether larger parties are required to hold primaries?
As an American, it is amazing to me how late you can create a list.
Parties choose if they want to hold primaries or not. Only three parties (Likud, Labor and Jewish Home) are holding primaries of all their members this cycle. Other parties such as Meretz, Hadash and National Union have their central committee members choose their list. Most parties are chosen or approved by one or a handful of people like Yisrael Beitenu, Kadima, Yesh Atid, Shas, UTJ, etc.
Listening to the interview on Kol Baramah last night, half of UTJ (YT) is picked by one person, while the other half (Agudah) has a committee of about 100. Shas I don’t know, although obviously one person has final say.
The primaries were quite an interesting experience. The office in Yoqneam Ilit was very small friendly, but the machine was still down at 5:30 or so. I finally voted at Gan Hacongressim in Haifa; there was no wait, but it was hard to find where to go; altogether, with no wait at all and no car, it cost me close to four and a half hours, and cost some trouble with my working hours.
