FPM, LF Slam Proposed Electoral Law as Bid to 'Change Political System'

There is nothing "modern" about Nabih Berri and certainly not about Hassan Nasrallah. Offering them the chance to change the electoral law is like letting the fox into the chicken farm.

Since 2005 the Shia community in Lebanon has failed miserably to live up to its destiny, being the most democratic and civil Shia community in the world. First, it failed tragically by not supporting the Green Revolution in Iran where educated Iranians sought the same democracy and freedom Lebanese Shia enjoyed. Second by allowing North-Korean style Hizbollah Basij to hijack the community and imprisoned it in a foreign culture distorting Lebanese culture and values and isolating it from the civilized world. Third, by allowing the Shia duo and the useful idiots Aoun and Bassil to transform Lebanon from the intellectual lighthouse in the region to a pariah bankrupt state living in darkness and mass indoctrination. Shia are primarily responsible for taking Lebanon to the abyss. The duo have been playing the demographic card for years… but will only end up with a federal system as we refuse the basij culture, cherish freedom, live free or die. We’ll take Hizb arms by force if needed.

The Cedar Revolution and the Green Revolution are the same, both based on a foundation of freedom, democracy and civility. Some of the giants in Lebanese politics who clearly believed in building and improving their community instead of destroying others was Imam Mousa Sadr, one of my heros. What is happening today is the opposite. Hizballah is the blackhole of progress and democracy (who along with Assad murdered Hariri, Tueni and the rest). Lebanon has never been weaker, miserable and more humiliated. Hizb prefers Shia surviving on subsidy for easy indoctrination instead of building the future silicon valleys by attracting major multinationals. They gladly destroyed our institutions, schools and banking as in Iran war against the educated. Pitty a nation and a community whose ideal is the Basij.

Two months or so ago, Aoun and Macron agreed that Lebanon should abandon sectarianism, a reference to the Article 24 set-aside of half of Chamber of Deputies seats to Christians.

Yes, Kelon yaani kelon. Though corruption has been with us for generations and when democracy returns all this mafia can be pout in jail as banking records and transactions can be retrieved even decades later. Important now not to mix the issues and use divert from real issue. Hizb policies are 90% responsible for the economic collapse and misery, starting by causing the exodus of all multinational firms with their good paying jobs, followed by making Lebanon synonymous with radicalism, money laundering and Basij mentality. Their policies made investment impossible as isolated us from the world digital economy. The cost of EDL losses & interest plus exorbitant debt service alone are more than $100 billion. Negative growth since 2006 cost is another $100 billion. Lebanon is under occupation by the basij and no hope without fighting for real independence.

Chrisrushlau: you have been barking up the same tree for the last 10 years. More seats for the Shia will mean more woes and misery for all especially the Shia. Your lot are in complete control now and we are heading for complete collapse of state ind institutions . You want more seats in government and at the same time seeking an Islamic state, or better still, do you guys really know what you want?

This is what they care about... Electoral laws... Meanwhile the country is destroyed and burning...

giving the the ability to change more farms is like begging a bully to go easy. I.E Its a bad ideal all together
