are difficult to look at what is happening in the political arena of our country as a conflict or competition between the government and opposition. Iraqi political process has not matured yet to the level of sort of bilateral and clear between the government and opposition. What our government bears the name of "national partnership" in the sense the participation of all political blocs in winning the recent elections in the cabinet reshuffle under the innovation called the Iraqi "elections." Which innovations have already said more than once that we do not find a counterpart in the well-known democracies. All the political blocs in the government, but between these blocks of differences in views and attitudes is what makes all of their participation in the government of one thing calls for wonder and puzzlement. Take for example the consultative meeting held in Arbil, recently issued a statement about the nine points looming no-confidence from the government list. All the names to participate in the meeting and signed for his participation in the government, do you want these parties to withdraw confidence from itself, and its government? This is not found in good democracies that her political career on the basis of bilateral government against the opposition, which make up the government by a particular party or parties, when formed in opposition of other parties, not participating in the government. Either to be a minister and an opponent at the same time the government that you are the Minister where, ordered reflects the lack Rushd the political process and maturity.
in mature democracies, where there are parliament, government and opposition political parties are working to resolve their differences intractable by the methods and rules of democracy itself, which led it to Parliament, government and enabled it occupies the opposition benches. Since democracy means the sovereignty of the people, in essence, the solution is to return to the people. The return to the people to hold new elections, early, will reflect the attitude of the people of the differences between the blocs and political parties. The elections usually "flying kings and sets others", leading to re-form and draw the political scene and the resolution of the balance of power in Parliament to permit the re-formation of the government a comfortable majority, and opposition to a clear, dealing with the confusion that may have happened because of the inability of the previous elections to resolve the situations.
seems that the MP a coalition of law Mohammed Chihod thinking in this direction, the direction to return to voters to redraw the political map. He said a few days ago in a statement remarkable: "The option of holding the dissolution of parliament and hold early elections and one of the options."
Although Chihod said the first option, called by the rule of law is to hold national meeting as soon as problem-solving between the political blocs and between the Federal Government and the Government of the province, "but he made it clear that if" was meant to these problems is a crisis in the political situation does not order anything, but in order to obstruct the work of the government and only delay the political process becomes option when it is to hold early elections in order to access benefits the next stage you need us a strong government. "
Of course, there are many difficulties and obstacles in front of an early election, including, for example only, that the process of dissolution of parliament, which is the first step, not an easy process in the constitutional order in Iraq. But if unable to ongoing dialogues now, away from the people, to solve current problems, it is true that the situation will continue indefinitely, and we must resort to a constitutional democracy tools to solve them, and not early elections only one of these means.
