Free Patriotic Movement leader Michel Aoun has said that Lebanon is strong due to its diversity and will not witness another civil war even if the Middle East was set on fire.
"If the entire Middle East was burned … Lebanon will not burn from the fires of the civil war … The secret of the country's strength and one of the main factors of immunity is its confessional diversity which gives it an added value in the whole region," Aoun told As Safir daily in an interview published Wednesday.
Aoun also said the system is unbalanced.
Asked if balance could be reached through the Taef accord or if the country is in need of another Taef, Aoun said: "Why do we call it Taef? Let us call it Beirut 1. Now the prime minister is the absolute ruler through his majority in parliament."
The MP also called for proportional representation in cabinet and slammed the current electoral law that gave the prime minister predominance.

Wasn't GMA who wanted the current electoral law? |
True, GMA wanted the current law to allow christians to choose the biggest number of christian MPs.
Unfortunately, no one predicted what happened in Zahle for example.
