| People we are trying to do a tempreture gauge to see what the feeling sof people are of the current candidates, i know we are still around 7 months away and peoples views do change but i also want to see the debate behind the decision making of that particular person they support, maybe there is information a member can supply that would support their prefered candidate or information on another against them etc. |

Do you wan't to check that out ?
So someone who cannot live in their previous home let alone their village and is forced to live in a house belonging to someone else probably Greek Cypriot House has no right to VOTE, are you all living in cloud cuckoo land ? Why would a Turkish Cypriot who is forced to be living in the north due to the conflict go and live amongst the people or should i say the Gov who put them in that position and then trust their safety to the word's of a known Eioka Terrorist who by chance is now ruling the south , Please don't treat us all as Fool's ,
To claim your land back you have to go and live in the south , WHY , Have the Greek Cypriot Nationalists changed that much ? Judeging by the comments of a few of the Greek Cypriots here on the Forum , it seems not |

Actually he can't vote, have you forgotten how the EU pulled the Republic of Cyprus up last year about the thousands of ex-pats living in the south for many years that were unable to get registered as it was made near impossible for them, some people have very short memories and also choose to ignore all the wrongs of where they live for sometimes obvious reasons and othertimes because to bury ones head in the sand is easier and does not disrupt that supposed perfect world they have in their mind that is completely imaginery.  |

but brother , that was in european and local elections, a law only 'relevent' to the Republic of Cyprus from 2004, it just hadnt been implimented into law properly i think, mainly due most likely to the 'rushed' enlargement process the EU took with all the candidates.
and 100%, the 'block' for Turkish Cypriots i suppose in moving back is more 'psycological' and practical (in terms of a job/language etc) than legal. The threat from 'nationalists' is very very low, near non-existant i would imagine, and would not receive any public or governmental support! I understadn the difficulty for Turkish Cypriots to move south, but it is not impossible, and the arguement we should be able to vote AND live in the north is not really an arguement that they could use to be honest (why should anyone be able to vote if they are not living within the jurisdictional area a government is in? - that would be having their cake and eating it i think!) |

but that is how it has always been, and was agreed by the two communities in the london agreements. nothing 'untoward' there. Now if the president was to be voted by both communitites, then so should the vice president (which is still a vacant position atm). |

| Why not vote for a President whether Turcophone or Grecophone, who becomes leader, when his party wins a majority of seats in a legislative house where the seats are evenly split and where every citizen votes for their representatives, one Turkish Cypriot and one Greek Cypriot, from two slates, to fill these seats. The President chooses from the elected representatives a counterpart, to be the Vice-President. |

Dhav the people who want their cake and to eat it are the Current politicians in Cyprus not the People and i was not implying that people could go and vote in the south but then live in the north  |

Hi, just signed up to this site and look forward to some good discussions.
As for voting, well Tpap maybe a lot of things, he may have his fingers in many pies (what politician doesn't?), but at least he didn't sell Cyprus down the river the way the US/UK and turkey wanted. Roll on Tpap.
As for christoface (dickhead) and kasoulides, i don't trust those buggers as far as i could throw them. They are looking for fame, big names and dosh and they will happily sell our country. The US/UK/Turkey don't like Tpap because he ain't singing their tune, but the others will.
Oh, yes almost forgot, i hate that bastard Anastasiades he is another one.
They all complain about a lack of solution on the Cypro, but exactly what proposals have they put forward in the 33 years that this shit is going on ?? Zero, suddenly, magically, an election is on the horizon and they have all the answers. Bollucks is what i say, its just electioneering. I hope to god, even just for cyprus sake Tpap gets back in.
Thats my 2 cents worth. |

Spreading your wings into other forums eh? 
Keep praising TP and they’re going to love you around here Pantheman!
The people here who voted for Christofias don’t seem to mind that he can’t speak English, is clueless when it comes to international law, can’t comprehend much beyond rural trade union bickering, and would probably want to drive in his tractor to go to the EU if elected!
It must be his good looks...
Regards, GR. |

I'm catching up on this thread. Dhavlos, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with you at all when you say Turkish Cypriots cannot live in the north and vote in the south. You have no valid arguments in a number of ways:
If we're going to go with pure legality perspective, there's nowhere in the Republic of Cyprus constitution that states that Turkish Cypriots cannot live in the north and vote in the south.
It's true that Republic of Cyprus cannot exercise its authority in the north but this doesn't mean that it should exclude Turkish Cypriots just because they happen to live in the north. I don't understand the concern here. The only valid concern could be those Turkish Cypriots who participate in the elections of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Since Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, by the virtue of its existence, is against the Republic of Cyprus, I can see how the Republic of Cyprus cannot allow a Turkish Cypriot to participate in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Republic of Cyprus at the same time. But if a Turkish Cypriot publicly announces his/her alliance with only the Republic of Cyprus and nothing else, I don't see why where a Turkish Cypriot resides on a day to day basis should be any concern to the Republic of Cyprus.
Your argument, or lack thereof, does not make any sense politically either. There are a lot of Turkish Cypriots who would love to participate in the Republic of Cyprus and if that happens, they'll have more arguments against Turkish Cypriot nationalists for peaceful coexistence of Turkish Cypriots and Greek Cypriots. Greek Cypriots, by allowing Turkish Cypriots to participate in the Republic of Cyprus, could gain the much needed confidence of Turkish Cypriots and this can only help for a solution and not hurt it. If Greek Cypriots sincerely want Turkish Cypriots to abandon their idea of a seperate entity in the north, they should at least provide an alternative for Turkish Cypriots to hold onto. What can be a better alternative than the only legal agreed solution so far between Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, i.e. the Republic of Cyprus?
Last but not least, many Turkish Cypriots, like myself, live in the north (at least when I'm home) because they happen to be born in the north. It's not our fault that we were born in the north and for most of us, we don't have a choice but live in a de facto state. We're not politicians, we're just ordinary people. Unless you think that the Cyprus problem exists purely because Turkish Cypriots chose to live in the north, there's no valid argument for denying Turkish Cypriots to participate in the Republic of Cyprus just because they live in the north.
I just don't understand why Greek Cypriots do not see that by allowing Turkish Cypriots to participate in the Republic of Cyprus, they can score huge points against Turkey and those who want a seperate state in the north. I consider this another missed opportunity wasted by Greek Cypriots. |

GR you seem to have a fixation with certain things. Have you any proof that Christofias speaks no english? I think he does and he speaks russian too and much better greek than Papadopoulos. I remind you another of your fixations about Androula leaving Vasiliou. You ought to start seriously questioning your sources.
Pantheman, is it his nose you are in love with or the whole of his body? |
