My family and relatives voted FPM in 2005 (total around 18 votes). Fifteen won't vote in 2009 because they left Lebanon and now reside here in the US or in Canada, two will vote orange in 2009 (unless they also get their visa to Canada by then), and the remaining one is very old now and won't be able to travel all the way to Falougha (Hammana) to vote. In other words, 90% to 100% of 2005 voters in my family will not vote in 2009! Our people-loving patriotic leaders refused to give us expats the right to vote, and unfortunately we can't afford to fly to Lebanon for the elections. |
