2005 Parents, brothers and sisters (6) 5 voted for FPM candidates, the other one, thanks God he was in far away land and didn't make it for his FM and LF vote
2005 spouse's family (4) 4 voted for FPM candidates.

2009 parents, brothers and sisters (6) 5 will definitely vote for FPM and SF candidates, even though my sister is scared that the green that has been spread around in north Lebanon will affect the voters' decisions. needs to be encourage every now and then. the sixth one, will not be able to make it unless they pay him because he is bringing his family during Christmas and not willing to spending more money to come again after few months. if he shows up i will mobilize his wife and all of her family, profFPM, against his trip.
2009 spouse's family (4) 3 will vote FPM and one for LF and FM:(.
2009 my wife will vote for FPM, yep finally!!!!!!!!!

[soinatously yours]

My family (very large, votes in Haret Hreick) voted for FPM in 2005 at 98%, myself too.

70% because really FPMist, 28% because FPM was the only possibility against HA.

I think the 98% FPM voting will transform into something between 55% and 75% depending on behaviour of both side before the elections.

I think 25% of the family will simply not vote for pro "Hezballah" list (I am one of them), I think 40%-60% of the family will never vote for anybody else that GMA (we are from Haret Hreick after all, it used to be a small village before the war, everybody knows everybody).

I can only see a couple of people really still FPM activist in the family (although 100% are still with the principles of what used to be associated with FPM, a lot of activism towards the prisonners in Syria, towards education and reading, environment, press liberty, disabled, rebuilding some emblamatic monuments in Haret Hreick ...) .

But I can tell you there is in the family a LOT of disapointment :
-in which concerns mainly the unconditionnal alliance with HA, SSNP, Marada (nobody has expressed a pb with alliance with amal for instance, and with a dialog on an arms length basis),
-also a lot disappointment concerning the pro Syrian/Iranian shift versus pro-western,
-also a lot of disapointment on the achievements (most of the family is now in the baabda region and kesserwan) on the local dimension, to sumerize a recent conversation, "what are they doing apart from insulting others?",
-and also the weakness of FPM in its institutionnal dimension (no internal debate, no real structure, all intuitae personae, a lot of nepotism, no real project) of course here it's a disapointement on an absolute basis not on a relative basis, because they were/are so GMAist/FPMist, their ambition was/is so great...

yes there is changes :

3moumte:
2005 ( keserwen ) : 8 votes for FPM and 3 votes for 14 feb
2009 ( keserwen ) : 4 votes for FPM and 7 votes for 14 feb

khwele:
2005 (aley) : all FPM
2009 (aley) : all FPM

[BOILER]

Family plus the extension(3moum, wledon+wives, wled wledon+wives): 45 votes
They are all FPMers+3awniyyeh(dunno kif mse2ba) yimkin shirish bil3aile.
We don't usually vote in what was called Saida-Zahrani district( Zahrani caza for the new electoral law).
23 voted in 2005 for FPM list, the rest didn't cause the majority live in matn and the result there already known before the elections as a win for Berri-bahiyya elharriri coallition, so ma bi3azbo 7alon and they stay home.
Nothing will change next year, I don't know what will be the number of voters, but surley nobody (for you chiefo) will switch sides.
I didn't vote in 2005 for the same reason given above, and I think I won't next year too for the whole elections will be held in one day, and I have to be on ground in matn where I live, knowing that my vote down there won't change anything, madmoune la berri and the opposition.

Nothing has changed in my family on both sides. FPM would gain some votes in Matn as few of my cousins reached eligibility. Around the third are registered as supporters and few of them are activists.
30 votes in Matn for FPM. No exception.

[josein]

My new born twins want to vote, first i wasn't sure about it but after i saw them peeing on the doctor every time they go for a visit, i got convinced , they are 100% FPM.
2 more votes
