The new inter-partisan government and independence
The first thing that attracts attention is the degree of building formal and informal institutions, the mechanism of the rotation of power, the degree of competition and political participation, as well as the entrenchment of democratic action, which is often the responsibility of political parties and community organizations to educate the public and its political work by expressing Opinion and interaction with the event and the election of the best.
Here political parties emerge through the roles they interact in either by convincing the public of their programs or relying on historical facts by going to power in advance and thus evoking some of their achievements. Sometimes the parties are formed as a result of the idea of a person or that party adopts the name or approach of that person who has It is characterized by a certain charisma that enables this party to win a huge public opinion and perhaps the departure of this inspiring party may be overthrown or fragmented. Political parties operate on the basis of competition among themselves and win the confidence of voters and resort to form a government, whether they are from one party or coalition.
The emergence of the political parties in Iraq after 2003 was a phenomenon inherent in completing the democratic transition process, despite the obstacles such as excessive pluralism and the absence of implementation of the parties’ law. However, the experience of successive governments has produced some slow progress in the democratization process to take on a gradual nature.
And with the formation of the new Iraqi government headed by Mr. Adel Abdul-Mahdi, which differed from its predecessors from several aspects in the forefront of which led to the exit of the prime minister from the crucible of the Dawa Party, and the choice of a person enjoys some kind of independence for the prime minister as well as a near consensus by the political blocs and Sunni Shiite consensus Kurdish, which has not happened before.
The central question is whether the government is independent or whether it was formed by parties. And what are the dimensions of the existence of quotas between their formations?
It is common in most democratic countries that the government stems from the partisan and political rivalry and the results of the election taken in the formation of the government, whether unilateral or coalition. On the other hand, the subject of independence is relative. The majority, if not the majority, Is not affected by a particular party, but it is affected by a person or a party or a certain entity, and this does not form on it and the meaning of that even if the government of Abdul-Mahdi, some of the party minister this is normal, under a parliamentary system based on the basis of multi-party and political, and right here the choice of political technocrats As a result of Several reasons, including that the independent minister may be more vulnerable than any other political blackmail or withdraw confidence or frequent summons and interrogation in order to pass the pressures of those political blocs, in addition to the loss of parliamentary support or legislative back to his supporter.
The issue of quotas is a reality that can not be achieved except in the case of changing the electoral system and the adoption of the principle of the largest bloc, which takes on the formation of the government as a whole, and difficult as a result of the demographic reality, which necessitates the drawing of the electoral map in varying proportions and different forces, The vote on the President of the Republic by a two-thirds majority and give the government confidence in half plus one, meaning the impossibility of getting out of the quota with the opportunity to correct the course, as happened recently from the coalition of several blocks and the selection of political technocrats and limit the sharing or quota only at the top of the pyramid according to you Efficiency and integrity, thus overcoming some of its disadvantages.
