87 days ahead of the "exceptional" parliamentary elections, the (US backed) March 14 bloc seems perplexed, hesitant, dispersed and frittered...
Indeed, the bloc with the slogan of "sovereignty, freedom and independence," doesn't seem at its best times on the eve of the elections...

The bloc's various constituents believe the elections are "fateful" and think the whole country's destiny would be specified by the polls. However, they are still unable of forming electoral unified lists all over Lebanon to engage with strength into the electoral battle...

Thus, it's not strange to find, in some districts, a number of March 14 candidates that's even greater than the number of the mentioned districts' parliamentary seats... The reason is so simple: every party within the March 14 coalition considers it has the right to be represented with the size it personally chooses!

So, once again, the March 14 bloc failed to keep its promises, and thus, Saturday won't be the day in which the mentioned coalition would announce the non-finalized electoral lists as expected. The announcement came from the so-called March 14 Secretariat General Chief, former MP Fares Saeid, who told journalists on Wednesday that the announcement was again postponed until further notice.

The former MP said that every member in the coalition was free to announce his own electoral platform, in addition to the so-called March 14 joint document. Saeid, meanwhile, said that the ceremony that would be held by the March 14 bloc on Saturday would include the launching of the electoral campaign and the broadcasting of a documentary film.
