Hundreds march for proportional vote law in Beirut | News , Lebanon News | THE DAILY STAR

Hundreds march for proportional vote law in Beirut | News , Lebanon News | THE DAILY STAR:



I love how specific and constructive the demands of Lebanese protestors are: they are asking for proportional representation in elections: currently the electoral list with the most votes wins all the seats representing the given district in a parliamentary or municipal election. By the proposed law they would get a number of seats proportional to the votes they received, and the minority party will get a proportional number of seats as well.

This is so relevant to Lebanese parents, we remember how much homework we have far more than the war we grew up in. Parents wouldn't falter, even if the house just burn down. They would say it's not an excuse for you to not do your homework. They saved us with their focus on school, but hopefully our culture will afford to relax one day and have kids enjoy their childhood.
