special democracy edition- the winner takes it all:)

Back when meretz were at the peak of success in Israel (1992)- the Raanana branch had 4 mandates (out of 19)

Last election set raannana meretz with 2 mandates

 

And now after a brilliant campaign where meretz in Israel maintains its strength

The only major success for the party is in Raanana

 

Meretz – becomes the number 1 party in the city – with a record breaking 5 mandates (before the soldiers votes are counted)

 

Hofrey the mayor’s party – is 3^rd in the city with 1 yes ONE vote less than the 2^nd party and 300 after meretz

 

#4 in the list is my brother shai – who is now a city council member

 

And since he ran the campaign – he got the majority of the congratulations- from party members and members and campaigners from other parties alike- and I have the videos to prove it J

 

In previous emails  I sued the word proud with a smile- never actually meaning it

But today- watching my little brother handling every one and faces a defeated mayor (in the council, he is still mayor ) and manages not to look superior – a very gracious winner

Now I am proud.

 

Now I can go to sleep its 4 am

 

p.s waiting for the votes of soldiers to confirm
