Hizbullah Bloc Urges Agreement on Electoral Law within 'Few Days'

W460

Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc on Thursday urged all political forces to agree on a new electoral law “in the next few days.”

“The bloc considers that the political forces have taken enough time to mull the proposed electoral law formats, and it has become obligatory for all parties to agree on a final format in the next few days,” said the bloc in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.

It said that the new law should “consolidate and protect coexistence, equal power-sharing between Christians and Muslims, and correct, fair, effective and comprehensive representation.”

“In this regard, the bloc stresses that the national interest for all of the country's components requires a national approach that rises above the details of numbers and sizes that have never represented a guarantee for any component,” Loyalty to Resistance added.

It also reiterated that a law fully based on proportional representation is the format that conforms to “the stipulations of the constitution and the Document of National Accord and grants equal opportunities to all components while abiding by equal power-sharing.”

That type of language gets us nowhere. Time to work together for the sake of the ordinary citizen.

what a farce this "electoral" law... it is useless as when a gvt is created it should comprise every party and every sect regardless of what people decide for the parliamentry elections... when the parliament votes a law and if the "opposition" disagrees it is never passed and always blocked ... so really who are you fooling? only your sheep...

you just rule lebanon as you please according to your interests NEVER in the interests of lebanon!

lebanon is just ruled by dozens of little hitlers who play between themselves and prevent this country from ever moving forward...
