Arab diplomatic source in Beirut told al Markaziyeh news agency today that since both the opposition and the majority trust General Suleiman and since both want to see an enhanced role for the presidency then the best math formula for a unity government should be As follows:8- 10 - 12The share for the opposition and the majority is based on their proportional representation in the parliament . 45 % for the opposition and 55 % for the majority. In this case neither the majority nor the minority gets a blocking third in the cabinet . Even if the majority and opposition agree on a specific legislation , they will still need the vote of the ministers of the president to pass any bills.
8 to be the number of the opposition ministers
10 to be the number of the majority ministers
12 to be the number of the presidentÂ’s ministers
Arab league chief Amr Moussa traveled to Beirut last week to broker an end to the crises but was faced with obstacles by the Iranian and Syrian backed opposition, that resulted in the failure of his mission. One major obstacle was the formation of a government of national unity . The opposition was insisting on a formula of 10 - 10 - 10.
