I'm going by facts.
1. BBF is NOT asking for a political equality of two communities, but rather of the two states.
2. Cyprus is in the EU, which the EU respects Democracy and Human Rights and it requires it 100% from it's member states.
If you can change the two things above then you can perhaps have what you want. Can you?
Let me know when you have succeeded, will you!
I have given you my thoughts on how the upper house balance can be achieved through a pan voting first past the post system so the size of each state becomes irrelevant and it will be a one man one vote system surely this fits well with the democracy and human rights you want for all?
The Eu is an ineffective toothless tiger than cannot stop any member state from manipulating loopholes to the detriment of specific members of their population due to their ethnic origins, that's why precise checks and balances are necessary to stop any such moves, surely you cannot have anything against such measures.
One man one vote is just one aspect of a Democracy. There are many more. One man's vote need to count for something. After all, Saddam gave his citizens a chance to vote, and so did Mubarak as well as many other rotten leaders, and they always remained in power for a very long time and what they had wasn't really a Democracy, was it. I'm not saying your
"pan voting first past the post system" is the same where one man one vote doesn't really count, or does it?
In all sincerity, could you please explain to me how your
"pan voting first past the post system" would work in Cyprus under the Federal state system...thanks.
