==Naming the party==

The name "National Responsibility" (''Aharāyūt Le'ūmīt'') emerged within the first days of the split, apparently as a working title proposed by Justice Minister [[Tzipi Livni]]. Shortly thereafter, '''''Kadima''''' (in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]: קדימה, ''Qādīmāh'') which means "Forward" or "Onward" was introducedproposed and served as an apparently-finalinterim name. However, although the common name was soon switchedbrought back to the"National Responsibility" a couple of days originallater. [[Haaretz]] noted that:

:''"...National Responsibility - will probably become permanent. The name was proposed by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and got the nod from advertising executive Reuven Adler. Now it awaits Sharon's approval...''Kadima'' (forward) and 'The Israeli Party' were also considered, but were rejected after they were tested on focus groups. Yesterday, the moniker 'National Responsibility,' which began to take off in the media, seemed to Sharon's people the most suitable, despite being cumbersome...during the plenum debate over going to early elections, [[Michael Eitan|Eitan]] called out to [[Roni Bar-On|Bar-On]]: 'Kadima to the Ranch,' taunting him to go 'forward' to Sharon's Sycamore Ranch."''
