The Lebanese Parliament failed the citizens. The sectarian leaders won this round again for the last 60 years and we are back to the voting law of 1960. The Parliament failed the resolution to allowing citizens over 18 to vote; the partial quota for women; the military to vote and more importantly to discuss other options that do not involve majority win in the sectarian districts for example, percentages or “nisbiyeh”. The secular movement was denied its right to cordon off the Parliament while in session.
