code of Personal Status, a State of Law and Justice recognizing the citizen rights, whilst demanding from them duties and applying the same laws to all and a State of skills in which everyone would have a chance and could attain social success, because social advancement will be the reward for their work, their efforts and competence. LF supports a policy of regionalism, with devolution to local elected officials of authority concerning local development projects, education, health, urbanism, tourism, hydro-electric resources, industry and agriculture planning, and ecological and other protections of natural sites. A shift to e-government is also part of the programme. LF calls for an internationally recognized and permanent neutrality of Lebanon in inter-regional affairs, conversely with Lebanon interference from foreign intervention. The electoral system advanced by LF is first-past-the-post voting, with voting rights guaranteed to Lebanese expatriates abroad, as well as a right to return for members of the Lebanese diaspora. Lebanese expatriates are majoritarily Christian. The LF contests several treaties and pacts it considers illegitimate: for instance the Taif Agreement, which they claim created an imbalance in constitutional power. The LF has stated it wants free public education for all children up to age 16, up from age 12 currently. It also calls for a move towards universal free healthcare, as well as a move towards renewable energy. Based on the ratification by Lebanon of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Liberty Front supports the establishment of a partial gender parity in elected officials, with 30% of the seats reserved for women.
