I was watching JBS last week and a host was interviewing two news editorialists, one a secular Jew, the other more Orthodox.
The secular guest was saying he has no desire to be orthodox, and neither does anyone amongst his family and friends. So Netanyahu's move toward dictatorship frighten him.

He also commented that secular Jews tend to have 1-2 children, whereas Orthodox Jews have 4 or more. He said Orthodox will be the majority in a few decades, leading to a much more conservative Likud and judiciary. He actually recommended a split of the nation.
