Talk:2006 Palestinian legislative election

message: I suggest we delete the paragraph about exit-polls, as it is not very relevant now we have the final results. I'll do it in 24 hrs if no objections. Bertilvidet 17:41, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion of exit polls

message: Planning to add in some more info on the minor slates, but want to restructure first. Perhaps having a new section on lists/parties and moving the stuff abour Hamas, Fatah, Future to this section. What do you think? AndrewRT 13:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know when results will be available?  Is there a deadline by which a coalition must be formed, if one is needed?  Thanks.  Hughcharlesparker 16:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure about the results.  The PNA govt. is a presidential system, with the PM appointed by the president, which means that strictly speaking a coalition isn't necessary to run the show even if no party or formal coalition has a majority on the PLC.  However, Abbas has said that he would resign if the new PLC consistently blocks his legislation. --Jfruh 17:11, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

text: The initial preliminary results are due by 7:00 pm local time today, or 12:00 eastern time.  I'll try to post something when those results are announced.  --Alpharigel 16:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Results 

message: Their are two tags on top of this article, one says it is a currently ongoing event the other says it about ongoing/upcoming elections. The second one renders the first one redundant, wouldn't it be better if instead of currently ongoing event, there were a tag linking this article to a wikinews article?

:From the draft constitution which is the basis for these elections (and of Abu Mazen last year):Members of the House of Representatives are elected for a five-year term. They may be re-elected more than once. It is impermissible to extend the term of the House of Representatives except in the case of necessity and by a law approved by two-third majority of the house members.

replies: text: I wouldn't worry too much about the length of the terms since there doesn't seem to be much chance that Hamas will allow another election to take place.  6SJ7 09:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

text: That is absolutely uncalled for. And anyway, Hamas is in no position to allow or disallow elections any more than the current US Republican party is in a position to mess with US election dates. Plus, it doesn't have the required 2/3 majority anyway. Ramallite (talk) 16:51, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Length of terms?

message: I'd like to add a article/section on the new government that's forming. Can anyone suggest where's the best place to put it? Are there any precedents/naming conventions I can copy? Should it just be a section here, a linked article or what? AndrewRT 11:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Resulting Government 

message: I'm not keen on the current edit.  
"Hamas won 44 percent of the popular vote but 56 percent of the seats, while Fatah won 42 percent of the popular vote but only 34 percent of the seats." according to the New York Times [1].  
This is a statement of fact not opinion and therefore I'm not happy with it being attributed to NYT.
Analysis of election results indicates that both factions won seats in proportion to their shares of the vote for the 66 list seats
Surely this is a statement of the obvious for a proportional system. Hamas and Fatah are parties or lists, not factions.
Hamas is overrepresented in the 66 district seats because it nominated more strategically than Fatah and did not have to compete with third parties and independents for the same voters' support.[2]
This is a statement of opinion (why Hamas is overrepresented) not fact, and therefore should be attributed. What evidence is presented to support this view? Why are third parties assumed to be competing with Fatah and not Hamas?
