Title:Why should Haredi dictate Israeli policy?

I love Israel and am a zionist but I do not understand why Israeli domestic policy is guided by the Haredi (Shas) when many of them do not recognize the State of Israel nor serve in Israel`s army. Over 80% of Israelis are not religious. Will Israel`s international image be helped by the building of 400 homes in East Jerusalem?
