Religious Zionists list

[edit]

@Rh0809, David O. Johnson, Ynhockey, Zvikorn, and Sokuya: Any idea what is going on with the party affiliations stated by the CEC for the Religious Zionists list? Smotrich's party is referred to as 'National Union–Tkuma', Ben-Gvir's as 'Jewish National Front' and Maoz's as Lazuz, while the article on the party refers to them as 'Religious Zionists', 'Otzma Yehudit' and 'Noam' respectively. Is it because the legal name of the former is still National Union–Tkuma, while the latter two are using old (defunct) parties as shell parties, and so the legal names of those former parties have to be used?

The CEC names are the official names under which the parties are running in the current election. They might refer to themselves differently now or in the past—it might be worth checking their own publications to see what they call themselves. However, in the case of National Union–Tkuma, that was always the name of Smotrich's party. I haven't heard of any change to this name. —Ynhockey (Talk) 20:24, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Rh0809, Number 57, Ynhockey, Zvikorn, and Sokuya: It looks like your right, Number 57. Noam had to use Lazuz as a shell as it was too late for the party to register on its own. [1].David O. Johnson (talk) 07:11, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
David O. Johnson, They missed a deadline..? Really, which one if you could specify? As far as I am aware they signed up on time. Idan (username is Zvikorn) (talk) 08:22, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I used an outdated source from 2019. My mistake.David O. Johnson (talk) 10:48, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No deadlines missed. Because of the CEC bureaucracy, it's often cheaper and always easier to simply buy an existing party off of someone and rebrand it for your own purposes, which can but doesn't always include changing the legal name. Another example of this is Yamina, whose legal name is still Tzalash. There's no requirement that the name you use, or the listing on your petek, match the name on your paperwork.147.236.153.78 (talk) 11:53, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minor parties

[edit]

Since "39 parties registered to contest the elections" [1] shouldn't all be included in the article as with the April 2019 election article[2]? In the following elections the minor parties were mentioned as participating[3][4] but since 2 years have gone by it would be useful to include at least some of the candidates of each minor party.

You're more than welcome to add them if you have time. Number 57 13:47, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Today's Times of Israel article[5] which lists the minor parties after the main parties can be used as a basis. Mcljlm (talk) 08:09, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your point. The parties running are all listed in the main article. This article is to list the candidates on each list, which are all available here if you want to do this. Number 57 11:48, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The April 2019 article listed the minor parties separately, which those you refer to don't. Mcljlm (talk) 00:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And like I said, you're welcome to add them here. Number 57 11:07, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
