An interesting article by The Guardian about Israeli voters and the upcoming election. They also cite my findings about the generational divide over the two state solution, showing the low support among Israeli Jews www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

In Israel, parties have merged and voters have been strategic; but then coalition formation with fewer (larger) parties has been very ineffective at delivering voters' preferences.

Do voters strategically attempt to affect the identity of the next prime minister? In a new paper at @ejprjournal.bsky.social, we show they do! Using @cses.bsky.social and German surveys, we find when and how "formateur optimization" is more likely to occur @ortuttnauer.com doi.org/10.1017/S147...

במאמר אנחנו מנתחים את סקר הבחירות 2022. למשל, האם לבית המשפט העליון צריכה להיות הסמכות לבטל חוק שחוקקה הכנסת? בנתונים נראה חוסר הסכמה בסוגיה מהותית זו: 48% סברו כי לבית המשפט העליון לא צריכה להיות הסמכות לבטל חוקים, לעומת כ– 52% הסבורים כי צריכה להיות לו סמכות. בוחרי הליכוד חצויים בסוגיה זו.
