It's Not the Demographics, Stupid

Uri Yassur argues in an opinion piece that demographics are not to blame for the election results, and that the Change Bloc failed to convince potential voters due to a campaign strategy focused on energizing the base instead of appealing to undecided voters.

Uri Yassur argues in an opinion piece that demographics are not to blame for the election results, and that the Change Bloc failed to convince potential voters. He notes that the Haredi demographic growth stalled in these elections, and the Haredi parties will end up with 13 seats, a drop of 6 from the previous elections. According to him, the picture in the rest of the Jewish areas is frozen, and Likud and center-left voters continued to vote almost entirely for the same parties. Yassur criticizes the Change Bloc's campaign strategy, which focused on energizing the base and a campaign of hysteria against Netanyahu, instead of trying to convince undecided Likud voters. He argues that the camp did not really try to win over even 10% of Likud voters, and that it should learn the good arguments of the ideological opponent.
