What’s happened: A primary election was held for the main left-wing Zionist party. In all polls, the current governing coalition scores 50 or 51 mandates, and the opposition 9including Arab parties) 69 or 70. Context: The same N12 poll posed follow-up questions separately to supporters of the coalition and the opposition with remarkable results. The Likud primary method also reserves seats for representatives of geographical regions, such as the Galilee or the Negev. Members of the Democrats Party were asked to select between six and eight candidates to populate all the spots on the party’s list from position 2 downward.
