chattels Tuesday, March 17, 2020 Review Iraq’s Dysfunctional Democracy
http://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2020/03/review-iraqs-dysfunctional-democracy.html
chattels "…..the new ruling parties were interested in anything other than staying in power and enriching themselves by stealing from the state."
chattels " ... disillusioned from the use of victimization by the elite, the politicization of deBaathification, the lack of rule of law, questionable elections, a weak state, and corruption."
chattels " When governments were formed they maintained the ethnosectarian quota system created by the Coalition Provincial Authority. That institutionalized identity politics, and allowed them to split up the state amongst themselves, and create their own fiefs in ministries to rob them."
chattels ".... Iraq is a dysfunctional state with an intransigent political system."
chattels "..... Iraq’s Dysfunctional Democracy is an interesting read. It highlights many of the flaws and institutional problems within the Iraqi government. The book isn’t perfect with some distractions along the way, but it’s worth taking a look at to help understand why the new Iraq has consistently failed at good governance."

chattels Salih could name any candidate without having to discuss it with the largest blocs (and this was confirmed by the Iraqi federal court March 16). Salih then nominated Zurfi, who was supported by several Shiite blocs in addition to Sunni and Kurdish ones.
The Nasr coalition of former Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, Ammar al-Hakim’s Hikma movement, former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition and the Sunni Forces Alliance are among the groups that supported Zurfi and their representatives participated in the designation ceremony.
Zurfi, 54, is a member of the Nasr coalition. He also has been a member of the Dawa Party and State of Law.

chattels Zurfi's government, if it gets approved by parliament, would be in charge of organizing early elections and leading the country to what is hoped to be a new and stable government. Zurfi would face four main issues: 1) the coronavirus crisis, 2) the country's economic downturn, caused in large part by the oil price drop, 3) the increasing tension between the United States and Iran in Iraq and 4) the protesters, who have already started expressing their objection to his nomination in Baghdad and Najaf.
