First, I don't see where taking care of the party contradicts with participating in the government.
Second, if we accept not being full partners in the government, we will wake up after 4 years to find out that the settlement of the 600000 Palestinians was implemented, that VAT became 20% and that most of the Christians holidays were cancelled; by that time, we will reach an irreversible stage and then, you tell me what the use of a great party is.
I am sure that you know the anecdote about the surgeon who, after finishing his operation said: the surgery was great but the patient died.

Why all this focus on the government.

مجلس النواب يشرعّ ولكن الحكومة تأخذ القرار النهائي، فهي الآمر الناهي

Yes sure. FPM needs to contradict itslef one more time. its no big deal, whats one more time? it already contradicted itself to death.

Go ahead reward the "rasibeen", give "jawa'ez tardieh" and we can dig up some of GMA's spirited statements against this and debate them here in the forum. It would be good wholesome fun.

Pity...
We are talking about the cabinets and who can serve the country better, and all you worry about is what GMA said and how to score points.
Constructive indeed...

CoTR, in your opinion what kind of governance system does FPM believe in? In simpler terms, can you explain the dynamics of the executive and legislative branches of government?

Thanks.

متى قال العماد عون هذا الكلام؟
لنناقش الموضوع بجديّة أكثر، هل هناك من وزراء غير وزراء التكتل الإصلاح والتغيير قدموا في الحكومة السابقة إنجازات للشعب والوطن؟
لننتقل إلى الموضوع الأول وهو ليس أساسيّ وهو ما قاله العماد عون عن الراسبين مع أننيّ لم أسمع هذا الكلام. الوزير ماريو عون لم يكن لديه حظوظ بتاتاً في الإنتخابات والعماد عون كان يعرف ذلك تماماً. أمّا الوزير باسيل الذي كان لديه حظوظ كبيرة ومهمّة جداً، كان العماد عون وخطابه الغير مدروس سبب كافٍ لخسارة كل ما أنجزه الوزير باسبل في البترون وفي الوزارة وعلى صعيد الوطن

I am not an FPMer, so I wouldn't know the full details. Though I do believe in the clear separation of powers, and I think FPM's declared principle on the matter whereby MPs cannot be ministers is a step in the right direction.

I see no reason why unelected MPs should not be ministers and I don't think FPM has a different opinion. This is yet another media gem from GMA exploited by the loyalists.

I'm not too concerned whether Aoun said that, my question is about the dynamics of cabinet and opposition, how the concept unity government fits into the system, etc.
