Will the current weather in the State of Israel have an effect on the election ? How much does the meteorological factor impact on voting intentions ?
P.S. Jerusalem under snowfall is very beautiful indeed.
I think the weather could help the small parties since ideological voters are willing to vote in poor conditions. Notice how I said “think”, I really can’t say for sure.
It is very nice to see the snow 🙂 Politicians are enjoying the cancelation of events and being snowed in.
