Why is Gideon Saar so popular as to lead the right with 69 seats, more than other scenarios? What did Katz do to deserve so low a standing as Likud’s lead, the only scenario leading to a lead by Yesh Atid? Who won the Arab List’s 2 lost seats? Why is (presumably) Shas giving up two seats to Yahadut Hatorah?
there isn’t an election, so i believe these polls are distorted. it is always my view that in an election the right religious block will win a comfortable majority and that Shas will have more seats than UTJ. But Deri doesn’t do it for Shas any more so he should gracefully quit. And I am personally puzzled why Nir Barket is not mentioned as the next potential Likud leader, he has proved to be immensely capable and popular , after Netenyahu he is surely a shoe in for being Premier, he gets my vote
