You either relinquish and fit in, or stay out.

No my friend, each Lebanese is free to vote according to his/her own parameters. You cannot say "this is how the Lebanese do the voting", I am Lebanese and I do not vote without elaboration on the actual candidate per se and I know many Lebanese who don't squarely vote based on the political affiliation of the candidate, you can find such voters even within political parties and/or affiliated supporters - let alone the independent street.

In fact, I consider myself and those voters more IN than all of those that claim they know what they're doing by relinquishing their due diligence to polarization.

i understand ur position. if that was the case with me, i'd just go vote and simply take out the name of boutros harb hehe

the elections of lebanon will only get weirder come elections day and not the other way around.

sometimes things will turn into a twilight zone.

the problem being the election law itself.

its not enough to just delete boutros hareb name

the man has been an MP for about more than 30 years and he didnt do nothing just selling ppl lies and empty promises the guy was one of the faces of the fake democracy under the Syrian existence he is so bad maybe no blood in his hands but the acts he did are so bad that we cant forgive him

100$ seem like the proper amount of money in exchange for one's freedom and dignity.

now if the offer was 90$ then one should not accept.

and finally if we really want to make quick extra dollars, we can work in a brothel and probably make more than 100$ per night.

I won't be in Lebanon! but for sure I will always vote FPM! anyway i'm not worried about my voice cause I vote in the south so ma fi mechekle!!

أكيد أكيد أكيد مايسترو
دولة الرئيس العماد ميشال عون ومن كسروان طبعاً طبعاً طبعاً

ولكل الذين يفكرون بالتشطيب، أطلب منهم أن يفكروا وللحظة بأن هذا العام كنا بحاجة إلى نائبين لكي لا ينتخب سليمان! فإن لم تحترموا لوائح المنظمة من التيار الوطني الحرّ والموافق عليها من قبل دولة الرئيس، فما لزوم هذا الإنتخاب؟ يجب أن يعلم الجميع أن هذه الدورة الإنتخابية هي مفصل تاريخيّ إن كنا نريد فعلاً التغيير والإصلاح، وإلاّ ما منكون عملنا شي، بالعربي المشبرح
لا أنكر حق كل إنسان باختيار من يريد في اللائحة وهذه هي الديموقراطية الحقيقية، ولكن علينا تقدير الموقف لهذه الدورة

I Don't think i will make it to the Elections, it's a 70 - 30 chance. I'm in Australia at the moment.

If i was in Lebanon i would vote HA all the way, even ra7 shattib l neutrals. No place for grey this time, it's either ma3ana walla ma3 l tanyin

100$ is the price to buy a small goat. you can milk it to make labneh
and jebneh for the next 4 years. say for a family of 10 voters
that's a small herd of 10 goats, you can eat and also export
labneh and jebneh to neighbouring countries.
after 4 years, you can slaughter 5 of them for the za3im
coming to visit the village on the occasion of the 2013 elections
and you will get the price of 10 goats, that will make you 15 goats.
of course, i am not taking into account the fact that they may reproduce.
