What Did Jordan's Parliamentary Elections Show?
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Pinhas Inbari - Parliamentary elections were held in Jordan on November 10, 2020. Turnout was low in major cities such as Amman, with a large Palestinian population, while there was a relatively large vote in the Bedouin periphery communities. Polling by the Jordanian press found that the economic situation was the major issue. For the Palestinians, stability that brings them personal security is preferable over democracy. They also prefer to avoid challenging the Bedouins, who see Jordan as their home and the Palestinians as guests.
