To hell with the “Mounasafeh”…

- Why would we want to be represented by who we are and not what we do? – Why would we want to be represented by more that what we are? and why would be accept others to be represented by less of what they are? – Why would we want to be considered as

Over-dramatic reactions over the Orthodox Apartheid Electoral Law…

I did not want to go back to the past, as we always prefer to look forward, but my page was overwhelmed with Aounist reactions over the loss of their Electoral Law bet… So a glance backwards helps touching base on our mixed emotions. I would like to start by reminding that the Free Patriotic

Orthodox Electoral Law

Little do we notice that the orthodox electoral law comes as a clear manifestation of “Christian” extremism. Little do we notice that this law comes along with the emphasis of Hezbollah’s Shiite marginal stance, the emergence of a Sunni similar pole and the dissolving of Laic representativity in the “Christian” representation into the conservative ones.

Muslim Secular and Christian Sectarian

Published on March 21, 2013 by in Social

I hate to talk of it like that, but sometimes one need to tackle things with their own ugliness:  It always made me feel bad hearing the rhetoric that we “Christians” are blessed to be the only religion in the area that could adapt to a civil state since we can be “free” of our

iElect – a Lebanese Electoral Law

Fact: An electoral law that suits no one specific party, is a law that suits all parties and the citizens… And although I believe the proportionality law proposed by a the electoral committee is as much central to all, it still gives advantage to parties over citizens. I think it’s about time a citizen proposed

Why the rush to failure?

Why are we burning ourselves to have an electoral law that applies onto this elections? Let us face it, we failed to find a solution for this term. We also did the 1960 modified law in Doha, so why not take our time and work on a law for the next elections…. Oh wait, we

Second Letter to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

Dear Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, This is my second open letter to you. It kicks off with the same intro as the first one ( http://wp.me/p1VbnC-nh ). Needless to say too, that my fears of the first letter remain the same…. Today I’d like to add to them an issue and a note.

Confused on what law to choose? Try the Referendum…

So they cannot agree on an electoral system to govern the elections, to govern our single rightful, and pragmatic political choice… Obviously every player wants to tailor it to his best benefit, shockingly claims it out loud as well. Then, when most oppose their solution, they play it tough by refusing any alternative and relying
