Arbil - 1 January to January (PNA): Dr Hamid Buffy (Member of the House of Representatives of Iraq) that he is unlikely to resort to the Iraqi Council of Representatives the option to dissolve itself and hold early elections for many reasons and grounds, including:
1 - The current crisis of governance and a worsening intractable and the Council is the highest legislative authority and control in Iraq if the Council resolved itself! There is not the most appropriate and most capable of it to solve the crisis?, Because Iraq (the system of government is republican, parliamentary, democratic).
2 - Dissolution of the Council is not easy as they needed to vote within the Council and approved by an absolute majority of the members of the Council at the request of one third, or a request from the Prime Minister and approval of the President as provided in Article (64 / I of the Constitution), commented: (replace House of Representatives, by an absolute majority of its members, at the request of a third of its members, or a request from the Prime Minister and the consent of the President of the Republic, may not be dissolved in the course of questioning the prime minister).
3 - The process of parliamentary elections in need of major work and a lot of money in order to conduct proper and transparent manner in the inside and outside Iraq, and the need to conduct under the supervision of the attention of international bodies and organizations saying, and all this he must make preparations for administrative, legal, financial, political, much to ensure the success of the elections.
4 - many observers and political analysts believe that under tension the current (political, social and sectarian ...) can not be any more elections to come the results of different in a large and influential of the current results, and therefore elections early adds a heavy burden to another political process burdened the already wide , early elections does not change the current reality little.
5 - The deteriorating security situation in Iraq is appropriate and not appropriate for the holding of transparent and acceptable .. The Taatari the election process of a major security breach cancel altogether. And the current government can not provide security for the Iraqi people ... We see almost daily explosions everywhere ... Whatever is protected by the government .. If the authority were not able to protect itself! How to provide security to polling stations and the staff of the Office of the elections or international observers, or of the citizens voting?, Especially that the current government, as independent in the event of the dissolution of the House of Representatives, according to the Constitution - Article 64 / II - (The President of the Republic, upon the dissolution of the House of Representatives, to the general election in the country during a maximum period of sixty days from the date of dissolution, and is the Council of Ministers in this case have resigned, and continues to run the daily affairs), and in my personal belief is not the parliamentary elections in Iraq were not successful as the Federal Government of a national partnership compatibility balanced and impartial.
6 - because of legitimate concerns expressed by some of the components of the true Iraqi and electoral blocs and political parties to power in Iraq is moving towards dictatorship and autocracy in a rejection of peaceful transfer of power, the rejection of the formation of regions constitutional, and try to end the government of national partnership, and the refusal to apply the agreements consensual political, non- named minister of security, partnership and non-political parties in decision-making political, economic military in Iraq.
For these reasons and others ruled out that the resort Iraqi Council of Representatives to the option to dissolve itself and so anxious to avoid opening the door to the legislative vacuum, and the absence of the supervisory role, and to protect the application of the Constitution and law enforcement, and to achieve the interests of the Iraqi people, and to prevent trends opposition to the Constitution's (to adhere to this Constitution - alone - preserves for Iraq its free union of people, land and sovereignty).
