From an article in Economist about Lebanese upcoming elections.

……This is hardly surprising, since Lebanese elections are run on a quota system that allots seats by sect. Muslims complain that Christians are given half the seats even though they represent less than 40% of the population. Christians reply that the way the country's 14 electoral districts are drawn dilutes their voice. Since most “Christian” seats happen to fall in majority-Muslim areas, it is in effect Muslims who choose the Christians'MPs……

Since most “Turks” seats happen to fall in majority-Greek areas, it is in effect Greeks who choose the Turk's MPs……

This is what we would be fighting over if, as GCs wishes, TCs decide to turn back to current day RoC (not to 1960 constitution).

So what do your propose my dear?Give to a 18% ethnic minority which occupies around the 34% of the island, its own independent nation?
