2- Choose an 8 march PM with some charisma and popularity so he can build on that to create a larger sunni popularity in 8 march and try to reduce Hariri's popularity, for that you have Ossama Saad, Omar Karami, Abdelrahim Mrad, the problem is that they might become jelous of each other
3- Choose a moderate PM who represents the sunni street but it not fully supporting any of the two sides: Najib Mikati, Mohammad Tabbara, Mohammad el Safadi
4- Choose Saad el Hariri or Fouad el Sanioora on the basis that he has the majority of sunni support
IMO the best thing to do is choosing either Mikati or Safadi and building them a larger popularity while making them closer to 8 march, and hopefully in 2013 one of them would become the chief of 8 march's sunni bloc which would contain all the sunni leaders plus a few of his supporters.
Note: I am using the term 8 march and not opposition so they're will be no confusion as to wether I'm talking about the current opposition or the future one. |
I do prefer the following:
1- start by negociating with Harere to be a PM
2- Harere said he will not participate as he already pronounced, so ask him to name at least 2 persons accepted by him, that should also accepted by the opposition.
3- If he doesn't want, la 7awla wala Kowwa, select a PM that is acceptable by Sunna street or at least someone who doesn't provoke that street (Murad for example, is not at all accepted to this street)
Later, after 6 months, if the opposition thinks that it cannot govern, it can resign from the gov and then select the PM it wants. Like that, it will have the argument to don't select a PM accepted by FM.
