"Today, Tzipi Livni once more demonstrated that she is certainly no leader," the party said in a statement after the Kadima part meeting at which Livni said Olmert should step down.
"Livni is a run of the mill politician, very far form the image she tries to create for herself: her stance is determined by desire for office and not by principles," the statement went on. "After the Winograd committee report she clung to her post and did not resign, because she did not want to leave the government. Now that she has failed in her attempt to succeed Olmert and has been forced to face the ballot box, she suddenly demands that he should declare incapacity… only because it's worthwhile for her. Livni is a politician of expedience, with no leadership ability."
