Olmert was elected as leader of the party with the most seats, but that party always needed many coalition partners to keep it afloat.  And I doubt the same election results would happen if elections were held now. From Haaretz.com "At a meeting earlier this week in Washington, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov informed Defense Minister Ehud Barak that Russia has decided to supply the nuclear fuel rods for Iran's Bushehr power plant. Lavrov's announcement contradicts Russian President Vladimir Putin's promise, during his meeting with Olmert several weeks ago, not to supply the fuel for the reactor in Bushehr."   Looks like the PM enjoys collecting worthless promises.

Canada is a good example to use, the conservatives hold the minority government despite the fact that most canadians would probably prefer to live under a Liberal govt, but the Liberal govt won't call an election because the best they can do is wrangle a minority themselves if that. They are far more concerned with their own hides, regardless of public will. This governments ministers in Israel know they will be savaged if elections are called. They are holding on no matter what with zero mandate. Israelis are feeling powerless..
