Hezbollah rejects Future-PSP proposed electoral law

Share:

lebanon elections 2Hezbollah MP Ali Fayyad rejected on Sunday the hybrid electoral law that is being worked out by the Future Movement and the Progressive Socialist party , even before it was finalized and made public .

“We expect that what is being prepared lacks political balance, unity, and does not provide proper representation for Christians,” Fayyad was quoted by National News Agency (NNA) as saying on Sunday.

This comes after Future Movement MP Ahmed Fatfat revealed on Sunday that talks will resume with the Progressive Socialist Party later in the day over a proposed hybrid electoral law.

“We will resume discussions on Sunday although Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement reject the adoption of such a law, which threatens the polls,” Fatfat said in comments published in An Nahar newspaper.

Al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Wednesday that Hezbollah informed Speaker Nabih Berri that it rejected the hybrid proposal that Future Movement and PSP are seeking to draft.

The details of the proposed hybrid draft-law have not been made public but according to speculation it combines the winner-takes-all and proportional representation systems .

President Michel Suleiman and Premier Najib Miqati have already signed a decree that sets the elections on June 9 based on the 1960 law that was used in the 2009 polls over the lack of agreement between the bickering parliamentary blocs.

    ‘Not having read it, we reject it out-of-hand.’
    I don’t know why they think anything ‘threatens’ them at the polls … with only 2 seats out of 30 they took over the place after the last election anyway. Idiots.

      with all due respect 5th i wouldn’t be that naive…whatever mustaqbal and jumblatt come up with it will be about saving themselves…i dont think the christians should wait for hariri to come up with a formula to gaurantee himself seats and give what he wants to the christians….its not a bed of roses anymore between hariri and gmayaell and gagea….they didnt take over the majority including jumblatt overthrew hariri and now look at jumblatt…who to trust? id rather let the people decide not hariri.

        That’s why the whole ‘system’ needs to be re-worked, Dateam … but the foxes are in charge of the hen-house, and ‘the people’ seem to be happy to leave it that way. Vote, Yes. But from a different perspective … and then ask who has a different perspective that you could vote for. How many are looking ??? How many wish for the change?
        If this ‘new plan’ allows a bit of change … then push for another change 4 years later. No ‘constitution’ is written in stone, after all. Hell, even Moses broke the ones that were. 😉
