Those of you who follow this website know very well that Party leader Benny Elon has already been been officially endorsed by your host, the Madzionist. MZ recently contacted Elon for an exclusive interview request, and will hopefully be able to provide that for you sometime in the near future.
Benny Elon's Right Road to Peace, which emphasizes transferring the "Palestinians" out of the Land of Israel to east of the Jordan River, and making Jordan into the permanent home of "Palestinians", is truly the only viable plan offering any future stability for Israel.
Says Arutz Sheva News:
The party's banners and stickers will be orange-based, reminiscent of the color that marked the year-long struggle against the withdrawal/expulsion from Gush Katif and northern Shomron. The National Union aims to focus its campaign on fighting Ariel Sharon's plans to further erode the Jewish People's hold on the Land of Israel.
MK Tzvi Hendel said today, "Arik Sharon established the Kadima party because he wants to go down in history as the one who threw us out of all the mountains of Judea and Samaria. He was afraid that in the Likud, he wouldn't be able to do this."
"We must gather all our strength and public responsibility," Hendel said, "in order to increase the strength of the right-wing. There are many people in the nationalist camp who have lost hope and who say they are sick of the situation and will not go to vote. I call upon all of them to vote; let us gather our strength and make the revolution."
The party promises not to ignore social issues, which are gearing to be a major part of the election campaign. Party leader Benny Elon points, as examples, to MK Uri Ariel's legislation mandating Sabbath elevators in tall buildings with a demand for such and in public buildings, and MK Tzvi Hendel's efforts to obtain funding for yeshiva high schools.
However, the party's main focus will [continue to be] "Land, People and Torah of Israel" issues.

JB,
On Shabbos (Sabbath) Jews are not permitted to kindle or extinguish a flame. The Rabbis determined that electricity is a form of flame, and, therefore, that Jews may not turn on or off anything electrical on Shabbos.
An elevator, therefore, in order to be kosher for use on Shabbos, must be either manned by a non-Jew who will ask you your floor and press the button, or be automatically set before Shabbos to continuously run up and down stopping at every floor.
JB, electricity, along with fire, is allowed to be used provided it is not turned on or off. If the air conditioning or heat is on in the house, or lights are kept on from before Shabbos began, it is allowed to be benefited from.
Many people, including myself, have several house lights set on timers in advance so they automatically go off late at night and on in the morning.
Regarding electricity, electricity is heat, and conducting it on shabbos by adjusting the flame is against Jewish Law. If one is to be proper in their observance, then careful preparation before Shabbos is very important. Most observant Jewish homes begin preparation Thursday night so Friday isn't a crazed rush.
BTW, in case you were wondering, marital relations are considered a DOUBLE mitzvah when performed on Shabbos, so, as you can imagine, many babies are concieved on this day, making it my favorite day of the week!

JB,
I'm glad you ask!
Driving: No. Think of the term "firing up the engine" and you'll better understand why not.
Using the taps: Well, I assume you mean hot water, and the answer is yes, you may. The water is already stored hot by the hot water heater so you are not creating heat by running the tap, only pouring it.
As far as a kosher restaurant goes, the best idea would be to contact your local Chabad. What appetizers? Uhh...what do you like? Most foods are compatible with kosher, but I'd avoid shrimp cocktails! The mock shrimp sucks.
