While election polls focus on concrete data, a shared fantasy exists among political analysts and commentators: witnessing a dramatic political upheaval on election night, October 27th. This fantasy involves the Likud party collapsing to around 15 Knesset seats, a scenario that would bring immense personal satisfaction and a sense of liberation to the observer. The author expresses a personal hope for an even more significant drop, considering a result of 14 seats insufficient and chastising themselves for even contemplating such a low number, while finding particular joy in the idea of the Likud losing an additional seat overnight, bringing their total down further.
