Margalit offered no
public explanation for his departure from the Labor Party race but the brief
experience clearly whetted his appetite. He sounds enthusiastic about running
for the Knesset in the next elections scheduled for October 2013, hoping to
raise the consciousness of other politicians toward the high-tech
sector.

“Politics,” says Margalit, “is the only field in Israel that has
not shown an entrepreneurial spirit for the past 20 years. What I hope to do is
to inject into government the same spirit of innovation, daring, imagination,
working together, and doing things internationally that we have been able to do
privately.” It should not be surprising to find Margalit suggesting that such
private sector high-tech all-stars would make fine political leaders.

He
certainly appears to have himself in mind as one of them.

Though Margalit
and Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat may appear to be two peas in a pod – both are
about the same age, both were officers in the army and both became computer
entrepreneurs only to turn to politics – they are not, at least for the moment,
political rivals. Barkat says he wants only a career in municipal politics.
Margalit hopes one day to become prime minister.
