I agree with you that in an ideal Democratic system the Lebanese Christians should have less seats in the Parliament in order to reflect their real numbers which somewhere from 35% to 40% of the total population whereas now they have 50% of the total seats. Your idea about the relative representation was floated around in this election but it was shut down.

Don't get me wrong, I wish that a larger percentage of Lebanese Members of Parliament were Christians, but a quota, especially an artificially overvalued one, won't do anyone any good.
