The House of Representatives has adjourned its session, which was held today, to further notice.

MilitiaMan:  Was there other laws on the table in the meeting yesterday outside of the Emergency Security for Food Law? Amendments to the Natural Resources, Oil and Gas Law? They don't say.

In addition, today they are discussing the cooperation with the judicial authorities in enacting important laws. They again don't say which ones.

However, we see this from Sadr's group below. My view is they tell us clearly what is on the table. The ration card in it's entirety is the food law, the electric it their life blood A/C and Fuel (energy) is the Natural Resource, Oil & Gas Law (NGO) or commonly the HCL..

If that is the case, there is good reason to hide those sensitive issues. At least for the short sensitive time that is before them..

The words "enacting and implementation" are synonymous. Just as the EFL and 2022 Budgets are.. Throw in the energy card and we have some serious on goings. I like what we are seeing.. ~ MM

For his part, a source in the "Save a Homeland" coalition told Shafaq News Agency, "The law of emergency support for food security will be passed and all members of Parliament will vote on it, and it will find its way to implementation without interfering with any party, as it is concerned with securing food in addition to supporting energy fields and service and development projects."

The source, who asked not to be named, added that "after the law is passed, a breakthrough will occur in the entire political scene, including accelerating the process of forming the government, since the implementation of the details of the food security law will positively affect all areas that affect the citizen (the ration card in its entirety, 11 articles, electricity, fuel)

Samson:  Parliamentary: We must go to the option of dissolving the House of Representatives in this case

1st June, 2022

MP from the State of Law coalition, Alia Nassif, said on Wednesday that if the election of the president of the republic and the formation of the government are not completed, "we must go to the option of dissolving parliament."

Nassif added in an interview with the official "Al-Sabah" newspaper, which was followed by "Mawazine News", that "the continuation of the current situation means the continuation of the caretaker government, deficient in powers restricted and governed by the decision of the Federal Court and an internal system, and criticizing any action it takes, so if this obstruction remains, let us go to dissolution of Parliament.

And she continued, "There is a call before the Federal Court to challenge the legitimacy of the House of Representatives and call for its dissolution because it violated the decisions of the Federal Court or that it was unable to complete the vote on the President of the Republic in order to end the government's work and choose a new government."   LINK

Zeeman:  this post imo says a lot in the direction where things are heading. its been 8 months and they still cannot decide after the election? to me this means neither side wants to compromise and as a result the citizens are getting shafted and at this rate violent protests will occur, one more thing the  food law had 2 readings and one more meeting is all that is needed and if and  when it is passed the state of law has said it will protest to the fed court and for some strange reason they have been ruling in favor of iran/ malaki i wonder why. in the last days there have been many good and thought  out articles to give hopium but remember this is iraq imo

Samson:  A New Political Proposal To Hold A Popular Referendum On The Dissolution Of Parliament

1st June, 2022

The prominent Iraqi politician Nadim Al-Jabri confirmed, on Wednesday, the possibility of the Federal Supreme Court resorting to a popular referendum to dissolve the House of Representatives, indicating that this step will depend on the court’s interpretation that the people are the source of all authorities and have the right to self-determination.

Al-Jabri said in a statement to "The Information", that "the invitations made by some parties to the Federal Supreme Court to dissolve the House of Representatives are obligatory, and the results will be announced soon."

He added, "The court may reject these demands due to its lack of direct jurisdiction in the decision to dissolve the House of Representatives, which is the largest and most important legislative authority in the country, or to go to the popular path."

Al-Jabri explained, “The interpretation of the constitution indicates that the people are the source of powers, and the court may interpret that paragraph and call for a popular referendum to decide the fate of Parliament and the people’s representatives across the same street.”   LINK
