LF MP says Berri's behavior in Baabda 'alarming'
MP Ghayath Yazbek of the Lebanese Forces on Thursday said that “Speaker Nabih Berri has demonstrated an advanced and alarming image about the (Shiite) Duo’s future performance in Cabinet.”
He was referring to Berri’s reported disagreement with PM-designate Nawaf Salam over the so-called “fifth Shiite minister,” which torpedoed the announcement of the new cabinet line-up.
“To put it shortly, the guys (Berri and Hezbollah) have not changed their old habits: they either get what they impose or they obstruct. If the president and the PM-designate wait for the Duo to quit its bad habits, they will wait a lot and the state will not move forward,” Yazbek added.

Here we are believing that Lebanon was a parliamentary democracy, where the PM is the one who chooses his government, and then the parliament elects its speaker.
Is seems from this article that the speaker is the one in change of the government and not the other way round.
