تقارير: جنبلاط لا يمانع تجربة النظام الإنتخابي المختلط شرط ان تبدأ عملية انشاء مجلس الشيوخ

What if I told you that you can have whichever electoral law you wish for and in the end the Lebanese people will still lose, there is only one solution for this problem: a full scale revolution by free patriotic secular Lebanese citizens who genuinely wish for a better Lebanon for our children and children's children... everyone just get your heads out of the sand and realize that we are puny pawns to the "big guys" and that without our support they are just ignorant ranting mad men who we only listen to for our entertainment.

1-Why would it be a "condition" if the Taef accord stipulates the formation of a senate in the first place?
2-Why would Berri even "examine the possibility of achieving this demand" at this instance? Could it be possible he knows beforehand that he he will be once again elected as Speaker of the House (surprise, surprise)?
Thus, it possibly does not matter which law is chosen, as the results will be the same.
a)The same class shall govern once more
b)The - hungry -people will accept bribes and ultimately start nagging again at the corrupt class that is sinking this country. That's what we do. That's what we're good at because we ARE double standards.
c)All things equal, it is not our politicians that need to change, but rather the people. Good luck with that

Very funny Karim ( ikhwan or Hezb same shit different name)

Mr joumblat and moustaqbal
all the people want to here
are you with or against the rightfull representation of christians????

this is the question to be answered and the answer of this question will directly solve the election law

Good! the idea of a senate is maybe, just maybe starting to get some traction.

I couldn't have said better. It is basically what the de facto system of Lebanon is: sectarian federalism. It is federalism based on sects instead of states or cantons.

No more sectarian crap, and we'll all live in peace with each other. inter religious marriages is the key.

a senate? LOL!!! they whine that the state is bankrupt and don t have money to raise salaries but they can find money to pay new salaries to a useless new institution! LOL!!!
lebanon does not need a senate: it needs efficient selfless MPs working for the interests of the nation not their own interests.....

the filthy zionist scum is still here, nahar editors why?

?
may bashar returns??????????????????

wtf????

and you were so called m14 supporter????

i am supporter of our glorious resistance but would never call for the return of syrian army

the filthy zionist scum would give 7 places to 5% of lebanese population, hillarious

Are you being funny or what? Where did you get these numbers from?
7 druze for 5% of the population and 8 for 20%. It should be based on statistics. The only rule is the protection of christians by giving them 50%. Within that 50%, it should be based on population proportion. The head of the senate shall be a minority & his role is to manage the sessions. The authority of the senate shall be limited to constitutional issues, nothing more or less.

Laws & rules are voted in by parliament, the senate's job is to confirm or refuse these laws if not constitutional(based on human rights charter).

The candidate to the senate
-Must have a high level degree
-A judge (civil or religious)
-An respected intellectual
-Must have the endorsement of 10,000 of his#her sect.
-Senate is elected every 8 years mid-parliament
-Exceptionally, first senate shall be elected a month before parliamentary elections for 6 yrs.
