Israel General Elections || 23.03.2021

Besides Arabs, who are the high and low turnout groups in Israeli politics? People mentioned Tel Aviv having low turnout which kind of surprised me since doesn't the city have more educated and affluent voters? Or does it simply mean younger voters in the city?

Does Israel do exit polling by socioeconomic status or income? Curious how the less devout section of the working class votes, especially trade union members.

Levine can delay the vote of confidence for up to 7 days meanwhile Likud will pressure whoever they can to vote against/disappear in the vote. If Lapid and Bennett aren’t cautious this could be a scandalous vote like 1990.
They needs safety margin with at least Taal abstaining. Hadash will vote against due to Bennett, and Balad will vote against because it’s Balad.
So that’s 52+4+1 (Shikli from Yamina voting against). That’s 57 against and the swearing in requires 58. If another one defects it’s suddenly 59 for confidence and so on.

If I were Lapid I’d have people follow Shaked 24/7 that hag.

Pretty hilarious that Balad and Hadash will side with Netanyahu here...
