شربل: قانون النسبية هو الأكثر عدلاً ويبقى أفضل من قانون الأكثرية

Wow, moving from simple majority system to proportionality is a huge step.

I hope the studied all the possible problems that could occure. For example small parties getting 1% of the votes should get 1% of the seats. Or are they going to put up a threshold?
This could also leed to totally ineffective governments as we could end up seing a mosaic of different parties in the government.

..On the other side, the previous system did not prove so effective either so why not trying..

... And Ali Baba Nasrallah's hoodlums will prevail because they outnumber just about everyone else... I wonder what's in it for Marwan Charbel...The presidency???

As long as the Taif Accord remains the basis of the system, how you divide up the assigned (by ethnicity/religous affiliation) seats is irrelevant: rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic as it sinks.

nisbieh in elections is a gateway for a secular country
and one more thing even parties in lebanon should be democratic ie their president should be elected for only one or two terms away from families and feodalism

In an unfair system, some people are over-represented and some are under-represented. The under-represented want to change to a fairer system. Those who are over-represented, oddly enough, never feel that the time is right for change.

Democracy should apply to all posts.
How come the President has only one term, while the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the house/Head of the parliament have no term limits?
One side of the government is democratic while the 2 others sides are not. The issue should be seriously addressed as long as the 2 other branches share in the excutive powers.

When governmental positions start being distributed according to merit and people's votes, rather than religious or political affiliation, wa2ta 7kuni bil nisbieh...
