Balancing Majority Logic and National Consensus

The article discusses the nature of democracy and the relationship between majority rule and national consensus in managing national affairs. It clarifies that democracy is based on the separation of powers, the peaceful transfer of authority, and the rights of minorities, emphasizing that the two primary levels of national life are the national project and the management of public affairs. The article stresses that democratic competition should focus on economic and social programs, rather than on identity issues or major national choices, especially in Lebanon, which requires broad consensus on matters of national destiny. It highlights the necessity of a national dialogue to strengthen national constants and to develop an electoral law that promotes the creation of national parties competing based on programs rather than sectarian affiliations, with the aim of reclaiming the true meaning of democracy and achieving national unity. The piece concludes by emphasizing the importance of agreeing on mistakes rather than dividing over what is right, in order to preserve the country's stability.
