Nabatieh MP Mohammed Raad, a member of Hizbullah's parliamentary bloc, said the elections this spring will determine the balance of power in Parliament and the majority will decide whether to promote or abolish the "national constants" that led to the liberation of the South. Speaking during a political meeting organized by Hizbullah on Tuesday, Raad referred to the continuing need for the resistance and the continuity of relations with Syria. Raad said the party was not affected by electoral divisions, but added that small districts "pave the way for a swift return of sectarian and confessional division."Raad said that the adoption of the proportional system was the way to provide true and fair representation. He said Hizbullah appreciated that the government's draft law was a sincere attempt to avoid the "blackmail" attempt presented by UN Security Council Resolution 1559. Observers believe the government has adopted small districts to dismiss accusations that Lebanon's politics are under Syrian tutelage. Raad added that UN Security Council Resolution 1559, "which some forces depend upon to make local political choices," was directed against the resistance, its allies and Lebanon's Arab identity.
