Parliament in a national test
4/21/2016 0:00 Iyad Mehdi Abbas
Different visions about what happened in the period before the Iraqi parliament Some believe that a deep split threatens the political process, threatening the security and stability in the country in light of the war on (Daash) and the difficult economic circumstances in which we live, while he sees
Some other positive cases and the exercise of possible democracy that occur in any country depends democratic system inherent there to be two blocks are strong in parliament , as is the case in the United States or Britain and much of the developed countries where the political scene or parliamentary divided into Democrats and Republicans,
workers and conservatives and blocks another guarantee so there is a strong opposition to the government which will be monitored and held accountable when they fail or exercise its ministers any kind of corruption or waste of public money
what happened in the Iraqi parliament , said the experiment appeared as a quick reaction to certain situations and improvised , and the absence of proper planning and logical procedures prior which made some fear of collision which probably will happen between the influential political forces in the parliament and government in general.
the formation of a parliamentary bloc cross-sectarian and partisan is important and necessary to correct the political course of action and rid Iraq of the tunnel quotas abhorrent .ala that members of parliament who are called sitters did not reach so far into the formation stage strong parliamentary bloc possible withstand particularly the other party ,
and this may give the message that this is simply an agreement between the political forces against the other forces will end the end of the stage will not be seeing the stage Oid sectarian and partisan and national quotas.
despite what is said about the seriousness of what he has done sitters from the House of Representatives of the incision grade , but they probably seeking to achieve the first step of reform and pushing for leave quotas in forming a new government after reaching negative messages to the Iraqi people due to the signing of the heads of blocs on the reform document that counted sitters close to circumvent the new reforms and the government of technocrats called by Mr. Abadi Prime Minister .
walta must that does not include changing names only , but include changing political norms followed by the political forces over the past years .vkadd dominated by the concept of quotas on the formation of governments in Iraq since 3003 and so far this makes Mr. Abadi reform essential initiative and the formation of a technocratic first attempt to get out of the tunnel sectarian government and party.
Hence we say that the reforms become an urgent need to be dealt with positively and it ‘s necessity, not an option and become a big need for the formation of a homogeneous government team has the experience and qualifications sufficient to cross the country to safety , and this will not be achieved in light of the divisions and conflicts that are taking place in parliament.
.ually everyone be aware that the stage through which Iraq today no longer bear the bids and political harassment Mr Abadi need the support and the support of political forces in addition to the legislative institution that will be in front of a true national test.

Really good to see this. Look at this from the outside…would this even be happening if investment interest was low or if tremendous wealth and gain was not possible?
Look, we all know Iraq is primarily an importer outside of oil. We also know they must diversify in this regard to mitigate the risk of large market swings having too much of an impact on the entire country’s economy.
This is yet again another article that reminds us of the investment architecture being built over the last several years. The investment desire is there and once we see stability in security and the government, we’ll see growth.

tlm724: Hakim really calls them (the corrupt) out in this speech ! He is saying there is no way we will let them slide this time ! There is another article that addresses the true feelings of the people and I want to show just a few quotes from that :
When corruption becomes a doctrine and approach
April 20, 2016 23:33 Dr. Yousef Al-Saidi
http://www.bondladyscorner.com/t166779-when-corruption-becomes-a-doctrine-and-approach
same climate aspects of small corruption .. that killed people from lower levels, and was able to corrupt bureaucracy to keep him approach and doctrine .. even become a pattern of living we live because when generalized corruption is no longer one could talk about it or object to it ..
tlm724: the corruption started at the top and also at the bottom of society, so much so as stated it became a “pattern of living” . It grew almost out of necessity, the only way many could get by. Much like parents setting the example for their children, the people did what their leaders did !
As long as the circle widened encompassing a wide network .. in their interest to turn a blind eye or remain silent about what is going on
tlm724: Everyone looked the other way, I would imagine many felt well if you can’t beat them, join them or if I speak out then the powerful will have me and my family killed.
just a debate about corruption absurd ..hanha individual loses his ability to gradually resistance, and above has a selfish desires and abandon the principles and values also relinquish his respect for law and order ..
tlm724: The average person and maybe some higher up’s as well find this all laughable, the talk about prosecuting the corrupt. It’s an old tune to them and they heard it way too many times. Just more of the same old BS.
tlm724: But this time things are different, the drop in the price of oil has made the difference ! Iraq has always been fat with oil revenues which allowed them to let the bus run and ignore all the things that make a free market, infrastructure, factories, exports and laws ! Not anymore, that bus has run out of gas.
And then ends the case to abandon his humanity and self-respect and to others, and any steps to fight it remains just talk
tlm724: Having Hakim say they intend to follow through with the prosecution of the corrupt is a good thing but only time will tell. I know the people are fed up and the protesters are trying to make their voices heard.
The problem lies in the people in charge, those using their continued influence over the situation, the likes of Allawi , Maliki etc.. those are the ones that should be sent to the gallows but they won’t be because they covered their tracks, there will be fall guys !
It is a tremendous undertaking for those that actually have the best intentions for Iraq and they KNOW it must be done and done right ! They meet opposition at every turn but with the support of the religious leaders this should transform Iraq, get these reforms off the ground and begin anew !
Shredd I’m hopeful we’ll start to see some meaningful change. Thanks timmy
