Leftist activists are working to restore the image of the "left," but the key to power and to becoming a political alternative lies in the center and left parties' ability to merge into a critical mass.


Mazal Mualem says that "instead of dealing with branding, [leftist activists] should really internalize that [Finance Minister Yair] Lapid, Livni and possibly even former Likud Minister Moshe Kahlon are playing in their court. They should therefore focus on creating a center of mass politics that will apply pressure from the bottom up on the heads of all the parties in the center and on the left, so that they join forces before the next elections."
