Israel General Elections || 23.03.2021

[Babeuf]

Who is still voting for B&W in sizable enough numbers for them to feasibly be above the threshold? After Gantz’s total humiliation it’s hard to believe he can make it over.

[Babeuf]

Meretz's #4 candidate just said in an Arab language interview that she'll abstain from voting on a law banning conversion "therapy". She quickly retracted it but... It could be the death blow to their campaign. The LGBT topic was one of their remaining columns. I'm not sure the occupation column will be enough to pass.

Horowitz being leader should hopefully mitigate any exodus of support over this? Hard to paint Meretz as anti-LGBT rights with him in charge.

Wave Bibi goodbye in this thread.

Glad he’s going, for sure, but Bennett doesn’t give me a ton of hope.

My sentiments exactly. Bennett probably won't be much better, but at least he isn't blatantly corrupt...as far as we know.

Harold Wilson with his Labour Right-dominated Cabinet was known to joke that he was a Bolshevik leading a government of Tsarists. Bennett is going to be the reverse, up to eleven and bass-boosted.

Don't forget Shaked

Shaked is married to a fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force. They have two children and live in Bavli, Tel Aviv.[9] She is an admirer of Steve Jobs. She was influenced by Ayn Rand, in particular The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.[1] She describes her personality as 'intellectual' and 'systematic'.[8]

Also Sa’ar and Lieberman.
