The two Herut's refer to different political parties that existed at different times. The original Herut merged into Likud - it never disentagled itself though several individuals who left Likud years later took the name Herut. Certainly those Herutniks who are still in Likud would disagree with the notion that the two Heruts are the same or even part of a continuity. General Idea 07:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

There are no Herutniks still in Likud. The Herut party led by Benny Begin that split off from Likud would never have been able to legally use the name Herut if that party still existed within the Likud.--Benny K 19:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
(a) Herut doesn't exist within Likud because it was merged into a unitary party alongside all the other factions.
(b) They called themselves "Herut - The National Movement" as just "Herut" is still part of Likud.
