I think the demographics went over peoples head.
As the Charedi population becomes the majority of the jewish population, more responsibility (and consequences) will come with it.
If 75% of the Israeli population is Charedi, then you cant have 75% of the people learning in Kollel, you cant have 75% of the population not serving in the army (If you try that, the other 25% will make a big stink and likely either refuse to serve or leave the country)
When they are 75% of the population they can change to law of mandatory service (as is there right in a democracy) but they also need to be prepared for the consequnces of the nearby arab population attacking and defeating a much weaker enemy.
One can attempt to solve problems now, or you can wait until its mandatory to solve them (and might actually be much harder and more damaging to the Charedi population)
