Brussels \u2013 Europeans are united in their desire to see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/strong> step down from the political stage. They also fear the possibility of an armed conflict between EU countries and Russia. This is what emerges from the latest survey by Polling Europe Euroscope<\/strong> \u2013 a Brussels-based market research and polling organisation,\u00a0a joint venture between SWG<\/a> and OpinionWay<\/a> \u2013 previewed exclusively by Eunews.<\/p>\n

When asked what outcome they hoped to see for the Prime Minister at\u00a0the upcoming general election in Israel on 27 October, 45 per cent of those surveyed chose the option “that he loses the election and leaves the political scene<\/strong>.” Thirty per cent said they had no particular preference, 14 per cent hoped he would be defeated but remain a leading political figure, and only 11 per cent hoped he would be re-elected as head of government. This picture, albeit with some variations in the proportions, is confirmed not only in the five countries<\/strong> on which the survey focuses most closely, but also across the political spectrum<\/strong>. The respondents most keen to see Netanyahu leave the political scene entirely are the Italians, with 68 per cent (only 5 per cent would like to see him win). They French follow at 47 per cent (9 per cent would like him to be re-elected, the same percentage would like him to lose but remain in politics, while 35 per cent have no preference); the Spanish at 44 per cent (15 per cent hope he will win; 18 per cent hope he will lose but remain in politics, and 23 per cent do not know); the Germans at 42 per cent (10 per cent are in favour of the outgoing chancellor\u2019s re-election, 13 per cent want him to lose but remain in politics, and 35 per cent have no preference); the Poles, at 31 per cent (15 per cent support a victory, while 20 per cent hope he loses but remains in politics, and 34 per cent express no preference).<\/p>\n
