Israel reschedules election because of Britney Spears' concert
Britney Spears is having a concert in Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park for the first time ever on July 3 – so it’s clearly a big deal.
But so much so that the country’s Labour Party, which was due to vote for its new leader on that day, has ended up changing the date.
A party spokesperson told the Times of Israel that, because of the concert, there had been ‘a difficulty in recruiting security guards’ for the election and they also thought moving the date of the primaries would ‘make it easier for people to reach polling stations’, because of the heavy traffic expected in the city.
Although the party didn’t mention Britney by name, a statement put out did say: ‘The election date was delayed by one day due to the fact that there is a major event at Yarkon Park on July 3, 2017.’
They did not confirm if any party officials were planning to go see the princess of pop.
