In a new united Cyprus what are your feelings, and how do you see political equality between the Cypriot ethnic communities.

Each citizen should have more or less rights according to community origin

This option is called racist discrimination.

All citizens should be equal regardless of their ethnic background, language etc. Anything else is racist and undemocratic.

i believe one vote one person, equal rights, however, i believe the govt officials should be 50-50 members with the president coming from the party with the most votes...

Unless of course you know of some other way a portion of the community wouldnt end up being discriminated against...

Unfortunately, no matter what system, majority rule always leads to ill feeling when there are 2 opposing communities..

It may not be true democracy as Piratis puts it, however, true democracy got cyprus where it is today...

The reason we ended up where we are is exactly because Cypriots were never allowed to democratically decide for the fate of their own island.
