Loyalty to Resistance: Full Proportional Representation Achieves Interest of All Components

Hizbullah's Loyalty to Resistance parliamentary bloc noted Thursday that an electoral system based on full proportional representation would cater to the interests of all parties in the country.

“Lebanon must overcome its strangling crisis through agreeing on a new electoral law before its too late,” the bloc said in a statement issued after its weekly meeting.

“After having analyzed the stances and opinions of all political forces, the bloc notes that the full proportional representation format is the format that achieves the real interests of all components, away from any maneuvers or overbidding,” it added.

“There is an urgent need for some mutual concessions regarding the number and borders of the electoral districts that could be endorsed,” the bloc said.

It noted that “concessions within this format” remain “much better than heading to any bad choice.”
