Democracy in Iraq is a fiasco. Look, I too hoped Iraq would have a constitution, but if the people don't support this one, then we should have been happy the democratic process worked when it was defeated. |
Federalism is now the core issue. In light of Kurdish intransigence it makes it difficult to hope for a compromise. |
The (Sunni) bloc should now convene a general conference to decide how to proceed. Boycotting the referendum and parliamentary elections (in December) would be a lose-lose proposition. Our hope will be in the next parliament that will hopefully be more balanced than this one. |
They have told us it will be rammed through whether we like it or not. |
