2021 Elections: On the day after the elections that took place yesterday (Tuesday), the chairman of the Economic Party, Yaron Zelicha, decided not to speak until the full results were received. The party received less than one percent and thus did not pass the blocking percentage.
Although the situation was already reflected in the polls, Zelicha continued to strongly argue throughout the election campaign that “the internet polls are a pike,” and demonstrated confidence that his party would be the election surprise.
Today, the Economic Party said that they are disappointed with the results, and yet accept and respect the voter’s decision. Zelicha takes full responsibility. “
After the results of last night’s polls, the party’s chairman, Yaron Zelicha, said: “We respect the voter’s decision and express regret at the abandonment of his economic and social fate by the same corrupt mechanism of government capital.”
He added: “The current battle is over, but the campaign is not over. The Economic Party will prepare for the next battle. The plunder of capital rule in the Israeli economy will not last many more years. The dream of most of our young people to buy an apartment will not be destroyed forever. “Close the month. Have fun, you barons and robbers, but make no mistake, this looting will end.”
A senior source at the party headquarters said: “The feeling is a bit like they say in football, that the result did not necessarily reflect what happened on the pitch: we identified a huge support potential, 7-8 seats. In the role of Minister of Finance.
“The situation of the fourth election, and the strong desire to decide, made the average voter in a sense want to go for sure and be afraid of wasting votes. ‘If you pass we will vote for you’ – the sentence we heard most often every day,” he said.
“We saw the gap between the polls and the results of the truth, so even though the headquarters collected names and telephone numbers of about 150,000 supporters, the atmosphere of the polls in the media and the complete disregard, on the three TV channels in the election broadcasts, created a sense of hopelessness and mass abandonment.”
