I see it as a conundrum. If FPM is to have a closed list, it might risk losing the SSNP votes which can come in handy in 2009, and if FPM is to have an open list with one seat left, it might be making it too easy for Samy to reach parlement so it would be helping the rise of a fanatic extremist feudal christian crusader to Nejmeh, not forgetting that this will lengthen the political life of the Gemayel dynasty.
As well, if FPM is to have a closed list, it might just be able to bring an additional 8 loyal MPs to its bloc, and if FPM is to have an open list, it might help in gaining the SSNP votes and at the same time speed up the "tochtib" process between the loyalist candidates (mainly Nassib and Samy).
Like I said, it's a conundrum.
No. FPm should be always reminded that they are in the business of political change and not in the emotions of "political correctness"!! there is always the "tishtyib" option for people to utilize in their candidates choices.
1- yes, as a favor to AG.
2- yes, for strategic electoral reasons
3- No, should run with a full list.
4- i dont care )
should AG be provided an easy ride to the parliament this time around or should he work hard to earn it?
i personally would like to see FPM running with a full list for two main reasons:
1- AG and his late son (RIP) did not show any gratitude at all for GMA's nice gesture to leave them an opening.
2- while leaving a seat open on FPM's list may be a good strategy to invoke "toushtib" on the rival list, it will prevent those who want to elect an 8th FPMer to the parliament from doing so, and i beleive we can score a full victory 8/8 with a full list.
ur thoughts.
I will make it easy for you. FPMers will not win a single seat in Metn. Save this post for me in your digital box till the election day.

Ya Elie, do you have any data in support of your claim, or is this just a "novel" digital stunt show??? Let people decide and live with their choices. Good Luck!
