The reasons he gave were that its leader, Shelly Yacimovich, belongs to the radical left-wing of the Israeli political spectrum both socially and economically.The Labor statement added that the coming elections will be decided on ideology, and that Labor is the only party that is offering a social-democratic alternative to the "radical capitalism" of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
