East to bid

Is double a demand that partner pick a major or is it penalty?

If I were East and wanted to get my partner to pick a major, 5 surely accomplishes that well enough compared to hoping they figure out what a double might mean.

Nekthen 'East to bid. Is double a demand that partner pick a major or is it penalty?'
Agree with SMerriman ...
- Double = 'Cards'. Doesn't show s but partner will usually pass.
- 5 = Shape. Usually 6+6+.
