There is great and significant electoral potential inherent in the union of the entire religious camp under one umbrella. Subsequent to the collapse of the historical alliance with the Likud (due to the establishment of the government with Shinui and the implementation of the Disengagement Plan), the time has come to establish a unified camp of observant Israelis, which will fight for what its followers hold most dear: Torah oriented education, the Jewish character of the State of Israel, and the Greater Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael Hashlema).
This is no simple feat, as the ideological gulfs that divide the religious and the ultra-Orthodox are vast, but it is possible: the interests of the religious and the ultra-Orthodox do not entirely clash, and the need to protect the continued Jewish existence of the State is equally important to both.
