It is EVICT MALIKI DAY + FOURTEEN (14) or " E - M DAY +14 ".
The countdown to election day is over. Will Maliki be evicted ? The coming days will be telling. First, we await the tabulation of votes, challenges and appeals must run their course, and then we should have a certification of the results and know which cluster received a plurality of the vote. News articles report that the foregoing will take about three (3) weeks and after May 25.
" After the conclusion of national elections, the Iraqi constitution stipulates that the CoR ( Council of Representatives / Parliament ) will vote for senior positions in the Iraqi government, including the President, the Prime Minister and his deputies, and the cabinet. Although each CoR ( Council of Representatives / Parliament ) member contributes an individual vote, in practice this voting occurs only after an agreement has been reached among the senior leaders of the political groups, invoking party loyalty and voting discipline thereafter. The selection of the cabinet requires an absolute majority of the CoR ( Council of Representatives / Parliament ) members’ votes (165 votes). In the final negotiations over government formation, even small groups can play a decisive role if they are able to provide the last few votes a governing coalition needs to clear this constitutional hurdle. "
REMEMBER, ............... Following the last election the new parliament opened on 14 June 2010 after the election on March 7th. Iraq set a record for the longest period of time without a government which lasted for about ten (10) months.
WE WAIT, WATCH, HOPE AND PRAY. GODSPEED THE COMPLETION OF THE IRAQI BANKING SECTOR REFORM PROJECT !

at the time delayed the approval of the budget year 2014 for reasons known and speculation to transfer files to the next Parliament, there has been speculation or proposals or attempts to merge the budgets of 2014-2015.
this proposal so to speak need to analytical visions correct by economists to show the advantages and disadvantages of merging with a statement its potential or not.

integrate budget
In answering a question (morning) about the possibility of the merger, said the economist appearance of Dr. Mohammed Saleh, said that the integration of the budget in 2014 with a budget of 2015 is out of the question is the way a legal vacuum Legislative witnessed by the country.
added benefit of the (morning) that the Financial Administration Act and the public debt allowed the executive authority to take such a step for the purpose stroll things in relation to the budget, operational inability of one to predict the time it would take to form the next parliament as well as the time it would take to form a new government .
legislative vacuum
and saw the benefit of the integration of Almoisntin is not bad to override the legislative vacuum caused not approving the budget so far, noting that the investment budget for the current year will be merged to finance projects to be set up this year with the provision of financial allocations for the establishment of projects next year and continued As for grades that have been identified in the current year budget, due to the lapse of about six months and did not acknowledge the budget, it will be merged grades also with grades allocated in the budget next year.
were leaks have hinted at the possibility of merging the current year budget, to not be approved so far, with next year's budget .
the Quartet
as MP for the coalition of state law, Haitham al-Jubouri, in a press statement: The «Quartet, which was formed to resolve the problems related to the adoption of the budget like Palmatlh did not reach effective solutions», adding that «the remaining period is not sufficient to pass this budget and therefore will leave to the legislative session next ».

Alnasiri stressed the difficulty of achieving the idea of merging Almoisntin in the forefront of identifying fiscal revenue for the country, because our economy yield depends on oil as the main source to support the general budget and by more than 90 percent, pointing to the difficulty of extrapolate the global prices of crude oil in the international market amid conflicting world events that beset prices of oils in all parts of the world.
determine expenses
and added to the challenges facing the idea of merging the problem of determining the expenses allocated to local governments and the mechanism identified, as well as investment allocations that were not fired and that led to the stop all production projects and services, and the biggest challenge lies in the lack of access to the final accounts for the years 2013 - 2014 contributes to the complexity of the planning for the budget year 2015, as well as the other side, the complex is that the mechanism of exchange for the current year are independently 1 to 12, which stood projects Because of the difference between the executive and legislative branches.
