Like I said I expect you to provide me with studies that prove that a solution will not have benefits. Is there any? Or is it just exorcisms from various fools?

Here we go again. WE-we, are you some copy of Paphitis? Talk for yourself. Why are you generalizing as if your own opinion is the general opinion. Btw are you a refugee?
Imo with emphasis on MY it looks better (on the governing system) in that almost everything has been agreed on that, and there won’t be any uncertainty and vagueness as per Annan Plan that was pointing to disguised partition. Sure the security aspect has not been agreed yet, but we already know what we will accept, and what any possible new plan will contain.
wrote: When I say "yes, we can reject any new similar plan" I am not merely talking about my own choice, but about the fact that we can reject it. You can accept it, or you can reject it. There will be two options. If it was just one option "yes" then there wouldn't be any point to have a referendum. As long as there is a referendum the option to reject it will always be there.
Of course the reason of having a referendum is to let individuals choose between the two options. However it’s also the means for loading the people with their own responsibilities.
Sure some people like you will vote OXI no matter what, however imo most will think twice.
Can you imagine what will happen if our own leader agrees and beleives it’s a good plan and the majority of us turn it down?

I know very well how federations work and I have studied the systems in USA, Belgium and Switzerland. How about you? Where do you get your knowledge about how Federations work? From what the Turks tell you?
Just by assuming that the "Turks tell me" shows how naive you are.
For a start we never agreed to have the Federal structure of any existing Federal state. All we agreed is to have a BBF with political equality.
Academic studies are nice for educational purposes but useless to what has already been agreed in Cyprus.
wrote: It also says that political equality does not mean numerical equality. What is the point of this then? To have more GCs to warm up the chairs?
Also, it talks specifically about the constitution requiring the concurrence of both sides to be amended. If according to you everything requires the concurrence of both sides, then why single out the constitution?
As I said the definition is vague. If you choose to interpret it in the Turkish way it doesn't mean I have to do that also.
Of course it’s for warming up the chairs, what else do you think it is for? The GCs are more in numbers therefore they will pay to have more people warming up the chairs (doing some work )in the central government.
You are just repeating the same nonsense. It doesn’t talk specifically for the constitution, in fact the change in constitution is one of the cases /examples it provides, where the political equality should be reflected inter alia. Read carefully. The definition is NOT vague at all.
I interpret it the way I understand it, and stop been naive. I ‘ve seen many "heroes" like you accusing everybody for siding by the enemy just because they have no other way to hide their pseudo patriotism.
So far you are twisting here and there failing twice to:
Explain to me in what way you think the political equality (as defined and clarified by the UN) could ever be applied in a way that would not empower the GC community to force the TC community to accept measures against their interests.
Why don’t you just spell it clearly that you don’t accept it, and stop inventing excuses like e.g. that is vague and you can’t understand it.
