I know these communities vote for their own representatives in the house (who don't have vote there), but do they also get to vote for GC parties, and if not, why not?

So they vote twice, once for the 56 seats, and once for their community leader?

Is there an official figure for the number of Turkish speaking Cyps resident in the Republic? Are they less or more in number than the Armenians, Maronite or Latins?

The 2001 census has 0.6% as Muslims, which is less than the other communities, but not sure what it would be now.

We might find out when we have our joint UN run census later this year.

According to the 2001 census carried out in the Government controlled area,[13] 94.8% of the population are Christian Orthodox, 0.9% Armenians and Maronites, 1.5% Roman Catholics, 1.0% Church of England, and 0.6% Muslims. The remaining 1.3% adhere to other religious denominations or did not state their religion.

Good morning Deniz

Very interesting question and what might this mean for the TC leadership in the occupied area as well as the TC's in the occupied area.

Although thinking out loud now .... the Republic actually recognises its TC's in the occupied area as RoC European citizens. It is only due to the non recognition of the occupied area and the Turkish invasion that they really miss out on the benefits of living in a free society.

Good evening (here) Humanist. Ofcourse they miss out. I was wondering whether they were eligible or have enough numbers to have a seat in house. That would bring more TCs back to the RoC - I think.
