Talk:2012 Libyan parliamentary election

'first party'?
What is meant by 'first party, second party, etc.'? The elections haven't happened yet. --212.9.126.1 (talk) 22:00, 18 June 2012 (UTC)


 * For the time being, it means nothing. It is just a list of most prominent parties. EllsworthSK (talk) 14:38, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

District breakdown of Party seats
Link - 79.119.15.184 (talk) 17:21, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

The Libya Herald has produced and published a graphic outlining district boundaries and party colours. According to the Herald Union for the Homeland uses a lighter green and Wadi Al-Hayah doesn't use anything purple coloured.

The newspaper article to which the graphic is attached is located here: HNEC ratifies final results – no change. – Jwkozak91 (talk) 18:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Table is incorrect
It's supposed to be % of votes (that would be most sensible considering its right after votes and that's standard format), but it's actually percent of seats. I don't know where you can find actual vote percentages, but here's one: Jibril's NFA got 62%, according to the Tripoli post (here: []). --Yalens (talk) 20:59, 18 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I have hard time believing it as seats were redistributed based on demographics, not like federalists wanted. Here is complete list of how many votes did which party won in what electorate . I will look into it today or tomorrow and try to count it manually. EllsworthSK (talk) 11:37, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The HNEC have vote numbers for parties by district on their website] if someone fancies consolidating them into one table! I tried but open office crashed and I lost all the work, plus the numbers pasted in backwards as the source is Arabic... Number   5  7  15:54, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Al-Watan/Homeland
So Al-Watan/Homeland (Belhadj's outfit) got no seats, and is unrelated to Union for Homeland, which did? The article should sort this out and be a bit more consistent with naming. Jpatokal (talk) 02:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Correct. Union for Homeland is Misratan party, headed by prominent Misratan who is well known throught the city. Belhadj is from Souq al-Jumma, Tripoli and that was supposed to be his stronghold. Turns out, there is no Belhadj stronghold. EllsworthSK (talk) 11:34, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Move
I suggest to move this page to Libyan legislative election, 2012.--Luis Molnar (talk) 11:20, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I suggest that we should wait a year until after the Libyan constitutional referendum: because the current speculation is that the General National Congress will only last until the ratification of said Libyan constitution, when the GNC will supposedly be replaced by an elected Libyan legislature of another name. Just MHO. – Jwkozak91 (talk) 14:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

International Reaction?
Is there any International Reaction to speak of for the election? That is not addressed in this article. Hires an editor (talk) 18:37, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Garyan
Can someone tell me why Garyan district elects no list members? Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 01:48, 2 September 2012 (UTC) And also why Central Tripoli elects no constituency members, only list members? Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 02:18, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
