37. The question whether hegemonic politics can or cannot be democratic exceeds the scope of the present paper. Here, the concept is used as developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's in their book Hegemony: Towards a Socialist Strategy (London: Verso, 1985), in which hegemony is considered the form that politics takes in contemporary democratic societies.

88. In cities with a high percentage of lower classes such as Ashkelon, Netaniah and Ashdod, Netanyahu received some 60% of the vote. In periphery towns, such as Ofakim, Or Yehuda and Kyriat Malahi, more than 70% of the population voted for him. In Argentina, as shown by Mora y Araujo, Menem's voters were mostly the poor, the majority being among the organized workers and half of the non-organized workers. In 1993, after four years of neo-liberal policies, Menem's candidates were voted for by 57% of the lower classes (in M. Mora y Araujo, 'De Peron a Menem, una Historia del Peronismo', in Hora, op. cit., Ref. 25; Boron, op. cit., Ref. 32). Note
