Bialik High School Mock Election Favors Center-Left Parties
Bialik High School in Ramat Gan held its mock election on Thursday, with the "Yeshar!" party emerging victorious with 32.2% of the vote. The "Yahad" party, representing Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, secured second place with 22.4%. The Likud party followed with 15.5%, and Otzma Yehudit received 9.4% of the student vote.
Other parties included the Democrats with 7.1%, Yisrael Beiteinu at 4.8%, Amcha Yisrael with 3.6%, and HaMiluimnikim with 2.8%. Religious Zionism garnered 1.6%, Ra'am received 0.4%, and Blue and White obtained 0.2%. Shas, United Torah Judaism, and the Joint List received no votes.
The school has a historical reputation for accurately predicting election outcomes, notably the 1977 political upheaval and Yitzhak Rabin's victory in 1992. However, since the 2000s, the school's mock elections have not accurately reflected national results. This is attributed to a consistent bias favoring center-left parties, failing to represent a broader spectrum of voters.
