وكانت قوى 14 آذار قد عقدت سلسلة لقاءات مع بري، الذي أكد أن "تقدما قد حصل في المشاورات الجارية مع المعارضة".
this is as disgusting as it can get.. further division and a step in the wrong direction.
It's not horrible law, but a horrible country.
Both sides are fighting over the districts, not the law. A smal
*smaller amount of districts, meaning each district is larger in size, would give more Shia the right to vote for a Christian candidate. Onus camp would win more seats. The smaller size districts would give m14 Christians a better chance at gaining a majority Christian seats.
Hizballah and Amal would not be affected cause they have 100% (pretty much) of the Shia vote. Their interest is making sure their allies win.
The only one against proportionality law is joumblatt. As it stands if joumblatt can get 51% of the vote in the shout, he controls all the seats, including Christian and Sunni seats. The new law would let each vote for their own guy, leaving joumblatt with only 5% of the population (Druze).
I guess. That's what I understood from this mess.
On December 7 1842, Lebanon was divided into 2 'emarates' between Druze and Maronites and this was one of the biggest mistakes in Lebanon's history. Today they are committing exactly the same mistake, dividing Lebanon among confessional lines. This is the worst law ever; this is taking us 150 years backwards. No... absolutely no. We need unity. Divisions bring nothing but misery.
hmm i understand now.. yes, i think it's a fair way.. considering that shia and sunnites in terms of population outnumber christians, which means our vote will be diluted....
even though others have said it divides us, i think it is better this way...cos every sect gets a fair go, and is not under the rule of the other.
This law should be looked at in 2 lights. One, the back-alley political bickering between Aoun and M14 Christians, which will never end, is that they're playing chicken with each other. Both of their Muslim allies will not accept this law, and that is known, but nevertheless, the Christians have to keep fighting amongst themselves to see who's more "Christian" than the other. As for the second light to look at it, this law further divides an already sectarian and divided nation. No good can come out of this law. If it gets implemented the Christians will feel the benefit early on, but in the long run it will proove disastrous. The only salvation for Christians in Lebanon is SECULAR governance.
the_roar, you can roar all you want but you have no bite. You're supporting a regressive electoral law that will be shot down by your allies.
This law will decide which Christian camp is the strongest, depending on the amount of districts agreed on. And it will diminish the Druze (joumblatt) power in Lebanon. He will never vote for it, and neither side have enough votes to pass their version.
Lol I'll be waiting to see what happens.. And if u continue with ur promise haha
When are they voting on this ?
