بري لم يلمس تقدماً في اجتماعات اللجنة الفرعية: على الجميع الصبر للوصول الى قانون انتخاب جامع
Read this story in English
رأى رئيس مجلس النواب نبيه بري ان حصيلة الاسبوع الاول من اجتماعات اللجنة النيابية الفرعية المخصصة بحث قانون الانتخاب لم تظهر اي تقدم. وفي حين لفت الى ان "الافق لا يزال مسدوداً"، اشار الى ان الوقت لم يفت و"على الجميع التحلي بالصبر للوصول الى اتفاق جامع".
ومن المتوقع ان تلتئم اللجنة عند الخامسة من عصر الاثنين، في مجلس النواب، لإعداد محضر عن نتائج اجتماعاتها، على ان يسلمه رئيسها النائب روبير غانم الى بري قبل ظهر الثلاثاء.
الى ذلك، اوضح بري عبر "النهار" انه وبعد تسلمه المحضر "سأدرس مضمون المحضر وأطلع عليه بعناية، واذا وجدت فيه قواسم مشتركة يمكننا البناء عليها والانطلاق منها من أجل الوصول الى مشروع توافقي".
وتابع، قائلاً "عندها سأطلب من أعضاء اللجنة المزيد من التشاور للتفاهم مع سائر القوى".
وسئل بري عما يحصل في حال عدم وجود قواسم مشتركة، فأجاب "النهار" ان "المشروع الانتخابي سيحال أساساً على اللجان المشتركة لدرسه ومناقشته. ولكن اذا لم أجد أي قواسم مشتركة فأنا أعرف من موقعي ماذا سأفعل وكيف أتصرف".
وانهت اللجنة النيابية الفرعية، الجمعة الفائت اجتماعاتها التي بدأتها الثلاثاء والتي ناقشت خلالها مشاريع قوانين الانتخاب الثلاثة المطروحة وهي مشروع الحكومة الذي اقر في السادس من ايلول الفائت يعتمد النسبية في 13 دائرة إنتخابية. ومشروع "اللقاء الارثوذكسي" الذي ينص على ان كل طائفة تنتخب ممثليها، وان يتم اعتماد النسبية على اساس لبنان دائرة انتخابية واحدة. اما المشروع الثالث فهو مشروع الدوائر الصغرى المقدم من قوى 14 آذار.
يُذكر ان اللجنة تتألف من النواب الان عون (التيار الوطني الحر)، علي بزي (امل)، علي فياض (حزب الله)، اغوب بقرادونيان (طاشناق)، سامي الجميل (الكتائب)، احمد فتفت (مستقبل)، سيرج طور سركيسيان (مستقبل) وجورج عدوان (قوات).

berry knows the ferzli/fpm/assad law does not have a majority thus cannot be implemented.
it is going to be a modified version of the 50 district law.

He is likely against it. He knows that whoever supports such a law will pay a price in the Shia community. It may well be his chance to put some distance between him the the hizb.

The shia community is the most under-represented one in Lebanon in Lebanon' sectarian system (lowest MP to pupulation ratio). In this system where each sect votes for their MPs, the "value" of a vote of a shia person is much less than those from other communities. The hizb may care less as its priorities are different, berri's only claim is the protection of the shia community's interest.

In other words, if the weapons of the hizb disappears tomorrow, a shia person will count for less (politically) than any other person in Lebanon. In politics, votes is what count. If Aoun is worth solidifying this sectarian system where we have different classes of citizens, then the power to you. The shia will soon be 40 percent of the population with an MP to population ratio half of that of the national average.

still the shia has many ways in rpesent system, even if law changes according to your scenario, to protect their interest. without weapons.
they can reject the orthodox idea in priciple, but they don't really care.

if you don't know how read the constitution and taef
i'm not going to explain the basics here.
and as for your shia friends yes the care on principal level but really they don't.

I did read the taef agreement. The whole idea is that the muslims stop counting (their numbers) but the electoral system will be based on muhafaza so they are not discriminated against. That was the grand compromise. As the rest of your statement, it really does not make sense: "they care in principal but do not care."

ok i will explain it to you.
according to constitution and taef, it's enough that speaker of parliament doesn't sign some important state decision and it won't go.
also, if all shia members leave government, it collapses, except when siniora the traitor refuses to disband it.
and other mechanisms.
this is how shia, as well as sunni and maronite know that you can't get over their will
so you see, they care in principal about this issue, but really, they know they have mechanisms to protect themselves, so in reality they don't care.
if the election law is fair for all sects let it be.

Traitor is a person who is convicted with treason. I take issue with calling this characterization as much as I take issue with calling Miqati or nasrallah traitors by the others.
With regard to fair, the Ferzli law is hardly fair and would be laughed off as a sick joke in much of the democratic world. To be really fair (according to your logic), there are 18 officially recognized sect. They should all have the same number of MPs.
I like the scenarios you painted. However, they are flawed as it is unlikely that the hizb and amal can monopolize the shia vote forever. All what it takes is for 5 percent of the shia population to vote the other way, and you have your new head of parliament. Cabinet members need not be MPs. So one day or another, you will have your Shia Miqati.
Now let us look at what is proposed: a radical change in election law without the consent of the Sunnis. Or is it Halal for one sect but Haram on another?
