Answer:
The
answer of Vikram : Lebanon was known as the 'Switzerland of the East' and the
country experienced a relative calm and renowned prosperity, driven by tourism,
agriculture, commerce and banking. But in 1975, a full-scale civil war broke
out in Lebanon which lasted till 1990. It divested the country's economy. The civil
war was ended after sixteen years resulting in massive loss of human life,
property and large-scale migration.
At the end of the war, there were extensive efforts to revive the economy
and rebuild the infrastructure of the country. Lebanon's political system was
divided along sectarian lines, i.e. between the Christians and Muslims.
So, the lebanon's leaders agreed to divide the total 128 seats
of the parliament equally between Christians and Muslims.
I think this is the best possible government Lebanon can have.
It recognises the existence of regional differences, religious and cultural
diversities of the country. The normal type of democracy is not suitable for
Lebanon as the country has religious and ethnic diversity.
When Lebanon got independence in 1943, it adopted 'Confessionals'
i.e., power sharing mechanism based on religious communities. But the power
sharing was not equal power sharing. After the civil war ended in 1990, the
power sharing is equally divided between the religious communities of Lebanon.
I think Lebanon's Parliament must follow this equal power sharing policy as it
is working for last two decades.
