Guaranteed Seats[edit]
There seem's to be a mistake or at least a lack of clarity about the number of seats guaranteed to Baath Party / PNF. The article states that the constitution grants 167 seats to the Party, that would be two thirds. However, no exact number of seats is mentionend in either the old or new version of the constitution. § 53 just says that "at least half" of the seats are granted to "workers and peasants" (which euphemistically stands for the Party of course). If no one can present a credible source that, e.g. by an additional law, 167 (the German article states 127) seats are guaranteed to the Party, I will remove that part and simply write that at least half of the seats have to go to the working class, which is according to official Syrian view by definition represented by the Baath Party. -- Schumeru (talk) 20:26, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
