Students at Blich High School in Ramat Gan will vote today (Thursday) in mock elections, after two days of campaigning with senior representatives from various parties. The vast majority of students will not be able to vote in the real elections on October 27, but the parties see great importance in the annual exercise. During the week, Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, and Constitution Committee chairman Simcha Rothman spoke to the students. Blich, a secular and liberal high school, published parts of their remarks in posts, and the invitation of Rothman led to a storm and hundreds of angry responses. In the past, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Naama Lazimi, Rafi Ben Shetrit, and Yitzhak Kroizer also spoke at Blich. Today, Itamar Ben Gvir and Yosef Haddad are expected to speak. Blich is known for predicting the 1977 upset and Rabin's victory in 1992. In the previous mock elections, Yesh Atid won 45%, Likud 24%, and the State Camp 12%.
