An informal poll aired Thursday evening on Channel 14's 'Patriots' program found that 97% of participants believe the Knesset should not hold a new vote for the state comptroller, as proposed by the High Court justices earlier Thursday, according to host Yinon Magal.
An interactive audience poll conducted Thursday evening during the 'Patriots' program on Channel 14 showed overwhelming opposition among respondents to the High Court of Justice's suggestion that the Knesset vote again on the appointment of the state comptroller. Host Yinon Magal reported that 97% of those who participated via the program's poll said the legislature should not hold a repeat ballot.
The poll comes the same day the High Court, hearing a petition against the comptroller selection process, proposed that the Knesset conduct a fresh vote and gave the legislature until Sunday to respond. The survey is not scientific and reflects the views of the program's self-selecting audience rather than the general public.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, the court's proposal followed a challenge to the existing appointment. The poll results underscore the deep public divide over the role of the judiciary in parliamentary decisions, particularly among right-leaning viewers. The Knesset has yet to issue a formal response to the court's suggestion.
