I was looking at a list of Lebanese political parties, and realized that I have never heard of more than half of them.

The list that I read had more than 110 parties!

Some of them are just plain pointless:

Universal party, Lebanese Ecology Party (What does the enviroment have to do with political parties?), Congress Party (congress of what?), Promise Party (what promise?), Worker’s League-Rabitat Al-Shaghila (LMFAO!)… And the list goes on and on.

Maybe soon we’ll have Hizb l Dikanjiyyeh, and Tajamou3 Nwatir l bineyet… :D

I guess this represents what Lebanon really is: A bunch of minorities that have nothing in common.

    yasou3 all man darabaka 3alla khadika il aysar dir lahou ilayman ok that means u admit that you guys been slapping us on our cheek ya3ne you admit your mistaken wlezim dirlak khade il tenne iza il ossa hek tikram 3aynak iza bte3teref inak gholtan bi amrak anna

    bass ya omega jesus did not say we have to be a mop when it comes to deffending jesus and my christianity its with peters sword that i am gonna cut your ear . keep that in mind.

    Peter lived with jesus more than you did or i did and when he felt his master was in danger he slammed another jew like him with a sword so ill be a sinner like peter it works.

    dont you ever try to say i am not a christian bghasben 3anak i accepted jesus as my savior and my king and i am christian and from lebanon ablak wabel souria taba3ak wil nasralcito ili leh2o so abel ma tige tsebe2ne 3alla massihite stop following people that calls the batrak a winker deal ?

    Salib il ouwet houwe salib mitl kil il solban honestly i have never worn one w actually ill be honored to wear a cross that was made by the monks of st charbel monastery .

    saraha Omega i was against this idea the ideaof us fighting like we are not from the same blood until i realize that the fpmr are a cancer that we have to face .

    am sorry but u landed in the wrong side my friend

    and just to finish this with you i would love to ask my fellow lfrs to really pray from their heart for every single lost person like yourself t see the light and come back to the true cause .amen

    i hope you ll change before its too late i did my job to tell you what you should know and from now on you are responsible for what you know

    The Promise Party (aka Waad) is the party Elie Hobeika founded before his assassination (R.I.P.). It still exists under the leadership of his wife and son… small in size, but not exactly one I would mention in a list of “insignificant” parties.

    “I guess this represents what Lebanon really is: A bunch of minorities that have nothing in common.”

    I dont think thats correct. I think the reason we have so many parties is because everyone wants to be a leader and hopefully become powerful, also, the Lebanese are very easily “herded” into beliefs.
