Shinui dismissed from Sharon's government over Haredi budget funds

In December 2004 Shinui was expelled from Sharon's cabinet after its MKs voted against the 2005 budget in protest at the restoration of ~290 million shekels for ultra-Orthodox education. The party then disintegrated and lost all 15 seats in 2006 — a sharp illustration of single-issue secularism's fragility.
