As for 2009 my cousin told me that my uncle is going to vote for the FM only (won't vote for the Christians of Qoraytem because of the 2007 elections).
My other uncle who used to be a close friend of Rafic el Hariri and was with the FM in 2005 is now with FPM, he hates Saad el Hariri and considers him a very drity person, but he still loves Rafic el Hariri, as for the elections, i haven't talked to him, but all his family participated in the opposition demonstrations against the government and my cousins are exited about FPM more than me.
As for my family, we vote in Beirut 3, so i doubt anyone of us will vote, we didn't vote in 2005 too, in 2005 they were pro FPM mainly because of me, now they are FPM more than me, my brother's wife is from Ain el Remene and she along with her family used to be LF, they switched to FPM before 2005 elections and they are still with FPM.
As for the rest, apart from a couple (husband and wife) who were with FPM in 2005 and now are anti-FPM (dont know if they will vote for the others) all the people i know will vote for those who they did vote for in 2005 (loyalists will vote for the loyalists and opposition will vote for the opposition).
I also know lot of Armenians who are very much exited to vote against the loyalists due to the 2007 racist comments by Amine and co. I predict a record number of Armenian voters this time around. |
Do I understand you are Armenian??? what a big shock !!!!! I thought you are a real christian .....
As for my family, it is a big mix, of everything, they were all pro-loyalist in 2005 but they do never vote Zayyi ma hiyyeh, most of them added names of FPM. However I believe this time they will do it zayyeh ma hiyyeh. They can not hear anymore of the name of Michel Aoun or Hassan Nasrallah. I bet even that if Michel Aoun is runnig in their district, they will sit 3al sandou2 against him
