The Kadima Party will choose a new leader in only a couple of days. If the polls are right it appears that Israel will once again have a female prime minister. But once in that position (presuming she wins) Tzipi Livni is going to face a hard choice - throw giant buckets of cash at the ultra-orthodox religious parties to keep them in the government, or face new national elections, elections in which her party would be expected to win fewer seats in parliament than it has now.
