I am no expert in political science and what I will say now, I have already said it in 2005.
Maybe the better system is to elect the president by the people based on a electoral college.
We all know that communities fear each other in lebanon and feel threatened (it seems we are not alone, as even in USA black vs white is still an issue)
so to address this concern, the main big communities in Lebanon (ie chrisitians vs mulsims) each has 500 points to give.
A presidential candidate that wins more than 500 points is elected president for 4 years.
I add to that, the switching between between christians and muslims on the presidency lie what happens in some orders and syndicate in lebanon.
Meaning if the turn is for christian president he picks a muslim vice president who will be a defacto prime minister and vis-versa
In my opinion the benefit of this, is that candidates will have to appeal to the people not to some external power.
this is my humble opinion
