Hmm interesting, every one is interested in Shas.
Has it ever occurred that the same question be asked of UTJ?
No, it appears that the Sephardim are not allowed to have a religious party.
Racisim of sorts, blatently, R Ovadia knew it, exerienced it , and fought it.
Despite the disgraceful infighting, I think he has created a constituent that did not exist before, whose core base is comparable in size and loyalty with UTJ. The issue for Shas is how much of the soft additional 1/3 or so of its voters who are now flirting with other parties it can pull back.
