Robin Shephard notes that they've taken the Parliamentary route which ensures that the law won't change at all. At least not until the government changes.

Lay back and think of England.

Default Livni angrily threatens to come to the UK
http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/26...coming-britain
From news article:
Israeli opposition leader Tzipi Livni is planning to come to London to test the process for the issuing of arrest warrants for alleged war crimes. Speaking exclusively to the JC, Ms Livni said: “I will do this not for me, not for provocation, but for the right of every Israeli to travel freely. I am not going to be restricted by extremists because I fought terror.”

The British system was, she said, “being abused by extremists for political reasons. Belgium and Spain have changed their laws, and the British know that they have to do so”.

Asked when she planned to come to London, she said she was considering a number of invitations. The JC understands from a source close to Ms Livni that, should the parliamentary deadline of February 23 pass without an announcement of a change in the law, she would take up one of the invitations within weeks.

If the law did not change, she said she would consult the Israeli Foreign Ministry on the exact legal situation, but would seek to act on behalf of all Israelis by visiting London.

The best thing that could happen to her politically is getting arrested and going to trial. She's done as a politician. Tested and failed.
