So Lordo, does this then not mean that it dispels your long held view that GCs will never vote for a TC candidate in any election?
As I have stated many times, that in a democracy, people of all ethnic groups belong to different political parties based on their political views and elect within those political party.
I support that a TC has been elected as a Cypriot in the RoC for EU elections. Let this be a lesson to all those in the north that their voices can be heard and would have an active participation in decision making in RoC politics without violating others political and democratic rights by demanding a Banana Republic system, just because that’s what the partitionist and Turkey wants. The hell with them.
Well said,
Those people that want a banana republic system that would violate other peoples political and democratic rights would also violate their own. Without them acknowledging it.
At best, the government would be in a state of deadlock, very much like how British politics has turned out regarding brexit. just look at that saga that has been going on for years. they cant reach consensus to move forwards and deliver an exit package. Unfortunately, British politics in this case has become a sad joke. At worse, the country will spiral in to another civil war but in both cases, Cypriots will all be worse off for it.
You have to be really stupid to think the constitution imposed on the people of Cyprus by the Brits in 1960 was anything but an anachronism designed to sow discord. You have to be really stupid to not learn anything from history and try to negotiate it back as a solution.
Just realize what other systems work in progressive and prosperous countries and that the constitution of 1960 is a complete anomaly in the world as far as systems of governance go.
Unfortunately, it has taken 45+ years so far and still there isn't a way out and others, like Turkey are taking advantage of it. All because a group of ignorant people want a banana republic style system of governance that would violate theirs and other peoples rights.
The irony of it all is that those people that want the banana republic style system have turned out to be poor isolated outcasts, heading closer towards extinction.
let this be an example and a lesson, Niyazi got more votes from GC's than he did TC's... and some TC's voted for ELAM
