The truth of the matter is that a t/c would be better off politically like the bulgarians turks with there party in bulgarian politics,because cypriot politics are so framented the t/c with a 18-20% share would be kin makers in every govt since independence.In A federation however you will have your state affairs in the north but on a federal you will be minority.24 and 24 senators on a ethnic basis is not going to fly i believe .
But that leaves the door wide open to GC manipulation for the sake of taking control so the thought of allowing natural ideology to purvey in a society that has not developed and will only bring about a movement to group and use their numerical advantage to the detriment of the minority which so happens to be us, a risk we would never take.
Your bullshit wouldn't be so bad if it was changed now and then, but the same pile every day is just too much!
