| Description | Some Meretz officials are calling for party Chairman Yossi Beilin to quit, following the leftist party's disappointing showing in the 2006 elections.
Meretz, which on Tuesday night was still hoping to get the five mandates forecasted by exit polls, woke up on Wednesday to discover it
has lost one expected Knesset seat, winning only four mandates in the elections.
"Beilin is responsible. Four mandates means we not only failed to preserve what we had, but rather, lost a third of our strength," a source at the party said. Senior party member confirmed that there were those in Meretz who believe the party head should resign, but added he was unlikely to quit because that would be "out of character."
However, references to Beilin among party members were quite negative. |
