FPM still have many unique qualities such as transparency, pure patriotism, independence, trying to find solutions in this ultra complicated country even if it was on its own expense.
In my opinion the solution of this country is only by FPM vision which has been shacked in the last few years.
- Stop its sectarian switch and try to get back to its secular roots.
- Stop allying with corrupted figures to gain some support in its race to power.
- Stop trying to become a typical Lebanese party to enter the race, it's charm is that it was incomparable and unique in the chaos rotten country.
- Stop the full-bashing full-support tactic to its opponents and allies, each action should have a proper reply and answer.
FPM biggest risks are 2:
- If GMA passes away, since it's a one-man-show party as everyone knows and the need to arrange the house.
- Born of another secular-based party with common principals with FPM will certainly affect FPM popularity especially among secular people who would prefer a fresh start on a fix of an unstable secular model.
I know my post looks negative, we're discussing the negative side here in order to improve it and find solutions for it, we aren't here to praise FPM and remind of its achievements and patriotism. |
In principle, I don't see why you should be worried about the birth of another secular based party with common goals like FPM.If FPM loses popularity it will be gained by a fresh new party which is always good. However, I can clearly tell you that it already exists and it is the gathering of people of independents, They make a considerable group and they prefer to remain with the tag "independents" and support FPM from a distance and especially on the elections. That is why you won't see such party. However, I agree on your points.
