الراعي يجدد التنديد بالفراغ الرئاسي والتمديد النيابي: النواب يخالفون الدستور "بدم بارد"

why not tell us WHO you are talking about patriarch rahi. This only adds confusion and speculation to the dark situation and corruption of Lebanon.

@bsnickjames
Do you have any idea why I was banned repeatedly?>>>>

if we have popular vote for presidency there will be no tamdeed no choughour and outside interferences will be sterile and our political parties will be sidelined cause the people will decide
and most of all proportionality in the new electoral law (as stipulated in taef )will give each political party its right volume
god bless democracy

Where's the bean!?

sad truth is that since 1990 the "Christian" president of Lebanon is a figurehead with no authority and no significance. It makes no difference but only to pretend Christians still have a role in government.

FTs complete nervous breakdown side effects, mutiple personalities and loss of own identity.

Electing the Christian president is not important, we've replaced him with the iranian Shiite supreme leader as per hezballah stated ideology.

First of all, in response to the Patriarch Rai the so called Parliamentary deputies in Lebanon have lost all forms of legitimacy, and their latest extension of their mandate has reinforced the popular view that they are nothing but a burden on the people of Lebanon. Moreover, in regards to the Baabda vacuum I support the view that the ruling political class in Lebanon are incapable of electing a new leader in this critical juncture because their backers that includes both Iran and Saudi Arabia are still at odds with each other, and that has prevented the emergence of so called consensus leader much similar to Michel Suleiman back in 2008. Finally, any person who has a sufficient understanding of the internal political dynamics in Lebanon will conclude that the state will inevitably fall under the weight of its own contradictions.

flamethrower and his derivatives are very active these days. He cannot leave this forum alone. He posts under 20 different names and sits all day pressing the report button. despicable !

This was expected, that before the end of the year 2014, His Eminence the Batrak will reach point exasperation with Lebanon's politicians. With each passing day now, H.E is making his sentiments felt more and more, maybe very soon the Batrak will draw that all too important line and just designate a president. True, the post of president is allocated to a Maronite even though he is president of all the Lebanese, but now the vacuum is being exploited by Aoun and Hezbollah for purposes we now all know. let His Eminence appoint a couple of candidates and instruct our politicians to chose one within a delay of a week, and if not, He will appoint one of them, like it or not. Lebanon's politicians do not move without a kick in the butt, that is the sad truth, let no one tell you that One of them has something called dignity or integrity.

@accountability, I agree, but Al Rahi is getting there now, surely and without doubt.

Al-Rahi has even slammed boycotting MPs, saying they should show their protest to the extension by announcing their resignations.

--So he basically condemned every single politician lmao.
