Its funny when you think about the concessions that are in the works to end Lebanons political gridlock which has literally paralysed the entire country for two weeks or so. The ruling majority, or Seniora government as it is refered to today, won't maintain its two-third seat control, whereas the oppostion also won't achieve its one-third blocking demand, thus leaving a neutral floating seat so-to speak left for grabs. I really don't see any sign of a realistic solution in this Arab endeavor to end the country's stalemate and encourage a united government to take form. Who will this lottery pick be offered to ? someone loyal or connected to this or that camp, or someone imposed from abroad be it the United Nations or Arab league. Will it simply be left empty to keep the goverment from being able to function normaly, as a means to buy time and watch regional developments unfold?
The streets will eventually tone down, the Serail won't be stoned any time soon and the solution at hand will be played in a game of tug of war, with both sides jumping from side to side eyeing down that Holiday Lottery Seat to be won.
