Equal basis means one person one vote. It is you who does not want to share on an equal basis as it happens in all other democratic countries in the world, and it is you who is trying to find excuses for the racist and undemocratic crap that you demand.

What you want is that 5 GCs are equated to 1 TC and that the crime of ethnic cleansing that you committed is legalized so you can Turkify the north part of our island.

Of course one person one vote will be the voting system its the structure of how those votes create a leadership which is more important.

If we allow the GC vote to elect only GC parties or GC MPs or the sole authority to change and apply laws then we TCs are well and truely f-cked.

VP,

comments like this really expose how little you know about how local politics work.

How on earth are GCs going to elect GC parties or GC MPs in a TC controlled federal state in a BBF?

I'll go with that as long as they have a rotating premiership in the uk between Englsh , Scotish, and Welsh members without voting.
Seems only normal afterall a? Pelo plasma.

There we agree. I would go along with the new system in UK.

Scotland have their own parliament and prime minister as well as mps in london.

now that looks like a system that will work.

turkish cypriots can have the trnc parliment and mps in the roc, deal?

Sure it can Lordo, but only if, like in the UK, the proportion of TC MPs is proportional to the respective population (1 TC MP for every 4 GC MPs) at the federal level.

Also the TC parliament should also be responsible for setting its own local taxes to fund any schemes in it's zone.

Deal?

So long as top level cannot force any laws on to lower levels. you have a deal.
And of course the top level will supplement any shortfall in income for the lower level like it is in the uk.

you see it can be done.

Scotland belongs to the Scottish. They did not invade and ethnically cleanse Scotland of English people, take their homes, and then call the country their own! This ethnic cleansing and stealing of properties from their rightful owners is something only TCs have done - are DOING! Such people deserve a prison sentence not votes!
