...i hope that both AKEL and Disy can represent themselves as Cypriot Parties; "Left" and "Right" their divide when speaking to the People, (despite the "Greeks" and "Turks" living among them), who are Cypriot above all.
...rather than "power", which in the case of the Presidency of Cyprus is (now) won by winning what is in affect the Greek Constituency, a Leader seeking change cannot lose sight of who they represent, through government, but as a State. Such a Leadership accordingly, having moved the People, Turkish and Greek Cypriot alike as a Cypriot in their campaign, would it seems to me have a better chance at fulfilling the promises they made toward Cypriots successfully, winning more than an election but more importantly their support.
Cypriots need change. Cypriots are not "Greeks" or "Turks" as it can be clearly seen over decades, even unnaturally divided, because these candidates have never won overwhelmingly in an election.
Of the statesman Cypriots have to choose from in this election, there are a few. Of the Parties, if they wish to distinguish themselves as Parties, they will have to rethink their purpose, and who they serve, to remain relevant to Cypriots, now that Cypriots need representation, as Cypriots, more than ever.
