ارسلان: لاعتماد النسبية في الانتخابات والابتعاد عن قانون الـ60 "الفتنة"

Read this story in English W460

دعا رئيس الحزب الديمقراطي اللبناني النائب طلال ارسلان الى اعتماد قانون النسبية في الانتخابات النيابية والابتعاد عن قانون الستين، لانه "قانون الفتنة".

واعتبر في مؤتمره صحافي عقده في منزله في خلدة، ظهر الجمعة، على ان قانون الستين يجسد "المأزق الوطني"، مشيراً الى ان هناك محاولة لـ"لابقاء على قانون الفتنة وهو قانون الستين".

وطرح ارسلان "قانون النسبي، لان النسبية تضمن عدالة التمثيل وصحته"، مشدداً على ان "قانون النسبية متطور وهو يفعل الحياة السياسية في لبنان".

كما اشار الى ان "كل من يعترض على قانون النسبية له خلفية واحدة وهي عدم اشراك اللبنانيين في الحياة السياسية".

ووجه، حلال مؤتمره "الدعوة الى كافة المرجعيات اللبنانية الدينية والمدنية لاعادة النظر في قانون الستين الفتنة والاخذ بالاعتبار قانون النسبية من منطق الخير العام لجميع اللبنانيين".

الى ذلك، دعا الى عقد جلسة برلمانية لاقرار مشروع قانون انتخاب عصري. وشدد على ان "الديمقراطية القائمة على قاعدة الحريات العامة والحقوق الفردية هي الكفيلة بانقاذ الوطن".

يُشار الى ان وزير الداخلية مروان شربل كان قد حذّر الثلاثاء من اننا "صرنا تحت الخط الاحمر لاجراء الانتخابات النيابية"، مشيراً الى ان همه الاول هو اجراء "الانتخابات النيابية في 9 حزيران المقبل"، مشدداً على انه "مسؤول عن إجراء الانتخابات وليس بين يدي سوى هذا القانون (لافتاً الى قانون الـ60)، وهو لا يزال نافذاً".

ويُذكر ان الحكومة اقرت مطلع آب الفائت، قانونا للإنتخاب يعتمد النسبية في 13 دائرة إنتخابية، الا انه لاقى رفض عدد من الافرقاء السياسيين، الذين يتمسكون كل منهم بقانونه الانتخابي.

كما يُشار الى ان اللجان النيابية التي تم تأليفها لايجاد قانون انتخابي يوافق عليه الجميع، لم تتمكن بعد من التوصل الى هكذا قانون.

ft, Arslan is part of M8 but your personal attacks shows your retarded mentality...

I second that allouchi but keep in mind you are dealing with a mentality inferior Farsi. Reword it in Persian and it may get through :-)

FT thumbs up this time.

Allouchi and Bigsami, thumbs down this time.
You can not blame FT in this post for being open minded about not liking one of M8, even in his derisory comment.

I'm confused. Am I the only one?

"Which is better" is a relative term. Can someone neutral explain the variations between these laws etc... You don't change electoral laws every 5 years to please those that complain about.

proportionality has the advantage of being more democratic as all parties can be represented, it gives a better representation of the different opinions. but the drawback is that it doesn t give a clear majority for the winner which will have to ally with other parties to have a decisive majority. so it can lead to a political crisis if the winner fails to have allies or if the allies don t want to back it.

the majority system gives a decisive majority to the winner to rule without the help of anyone. they don t have to ally as they have the big majority so there are less political crisis as they are the only deciders and it gives a stable majority. but the drawback is that not all the opinions can be represented so it is less democratic.

the choice between both systems depends then on politics and the kind of politics the country wants to have. that is why they are always fighting in lebanon to try to get the system that suits them best at the time of the election!

Peace, my opinion is that your comments are true in a secular state.
The last parliament was elected with the majority law and was not able to rule, yes because of the PSP, but in lebanon with the mosaic society that we have you can not rule without the others.
Even now M8 has the "majority" and M14 are paralysing the parliament.
Nobody in Lebanon can rule alone, regardless of the law.

Each party is proposing the size of the electoral district + majority (or proportional)for their party's benefit without any regards to democracy.

I think the best would be small electoral districts of 1 MP each and of course 1 MP means majority. But that is a dream today because we are faaaar from being a secular state.

"The last parliament was elected with the majority law and was not able to rule,"

yes because they didn t want the other side to! if they abided by the rules they would have waited for the next elections...

i wonder what the elections are for in lebanon anyhow as when a gvt doesn t suit the opposition they block it by all means.....

Well peace, this is lebanon today.
My comments are based on today's REALITY.
The alternative is Civil war.

Thanks for the explanation, but I don't agree with this "but the drawback is that not all the opinions can be represented so it is less democratic." Why is it less democratic if a majority runs the government? Trick is to have a functioning parliament where the opposition exercises its role, and not via press conferences & public drama.

Karim,

Do you ever comment in here without using Wahhabi, or Qaeda in your sentence ???
Just curious !!!

Thumb LebDino 04:29 ,2012 كانون الأول 08

Pls stop saying Wahhabi every minute. Some support from SA doesn't mean Wahhabism in Lebanon. The Iranian influence is far far far far worse.
