Scheduled to be the solution to the political differences that shape the Iraqi political leadership has become operational since at least two days. And associated meetings of this Committee the time limit set by the leaders of the two weeks to resolve outstanding problems since the general legislative elections in March last year. He went all this time, without being able to the political blocs that had emerged from the elections to resolve its problems, including the problem of cabinet security, and the National Council for the strategic policy, and in addition to the position of the U.S. troops out of Iraq.
The legitimate question that arises here is: Why are weeks notice is sufficient to resolve political problems, were not in a period of time than the year sufficient to solve them.
The question is the most critical and urgent after this is: What if the Commission did not succeed in its mission to resolve differences?
there is no official answer to this question. And the absence of the answer refers to one of the disadvantages of the practice in the new political order. I mean by "open-ended", ie, time limits, without mentioning the alternatives in the event of failure to achieve the required time limit. This happened, for example but not limited to, with Article 140 of the permanent constitution, and received with the elections of the Kirkuk provincial council, and fear that is happening with the enactment of the Federation Council, has been happening with the Commission to resolve political differences. The fact is that political action is based on scientific grounds must determine alternatives in the event of failure and the expiration of the period. This style did not recognize him the ruling political elite in Iraq so far, unfortunately.
There is a call for a new general election in the event of failure of the Commission to resolve political differences. But this procedure is not easy in Iraq, for reasons practical and constitutional reasons. But that the constitution does not provide for early elections, though the dissolution of the House of Representatives lead to early elections. But the dissolution of the House of Representatives was also a difficult one. These two actions, ie, early elections and resolve the House of Representatives, Kgerhma of Iraqi politics, needs political consensus may be very difficult to achieve.
There is another call to dismantle the current blocks and the establishment of new political blocs can form a government of its existence a parliamentary majority. This might seem easier than the previous proposal, especially as it is adopted in all countries, parliamentary democracy, where there is no concept of a government of national partnership applied in Iraq. But go to this proposal needs to achieve several things do not look the other easy, including the abandonment of the concepts of the elections, and national partnership, and accept the concept of parliamentary opposition.
and to learn that political leaders determine the alternatives for action in the event of failed Mhlhm time to achieve the desired through it, Iraqi politics will remain captive open-ended.
