There is a need to establish a more effective political authority in the Iraqi constitution gives the owner the ability to get out of the country's dilemmas of conflicts between rival political blocs.

Became known to everyone the complexities of the Iraqi political scene that passes the most difficult stages, following the announcement of the results of recent legislative elections.



We have produced these elections two major groups, a coalition of Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi and a coalition of state law under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, which made the first grand coalition seats, sparking a debate on the eligibility form the next government, relying on this to the constitutional text that «the mass-nuclear majority of the votes are entrusted with the formation of the government ».



Taking this argument tends towards the serious when he began Alaitlavan Bturahq verbally through the media, accusing al-Maliki implicitly coalition Iraqi Petrgebh and sometimes intimidating other times pounding the Green Zone, if not to give in to demands, do not forget also accused a spokesman for the Iraqi Haider Mulla Maliki's office threatened him over the phone to kill him because One of his statements to the media about the internationalization of the current dispute and how it came to outside interference at the head of al-Maliki government in Iraq.



It seems that the political blocs in the country do not speak only the language of threats and intimidation, without resorting to the logic and reason and the constitution in resolving contentious issues, compared with countries that control even if somewhat of democracy, such as Jordan, the fact that Iraq adopted a parliamentary system of governance, where we find that when sour things will come to end the property differences between the political forces, and it also applies to Kuwait, when the oldest and the prince several times to dissolve parliament and call early elections, because to do so to the Kuwaiti Constitution.



In Iraq, despite the existence of a permanent constitution can be consulted to resolve differences, but it appears in the provisions of this Constitution are many things to bear more than one interpretation like the one happening today on the eligibility of the winner cluster in the legislative elections to form a government.



Can be diagnosed two things are lacking in Iraq, and perhaps if they were there to have avoided the country's many crises, namely:



- The absence of the Constitution again in Iraq, according to Iraqi political figures, including al-Maliki himself when he urged a revision of the Constitution and the political process in accordance with the national basis, noting that "the current Constitution has played in a difficult period over which Iraq is but it needs to be reviewed and modified by the constitutional rules."



- No person to be the consensus of all Iraqis and have opinion is the chapter in the controversial issues, as is the case in Kuwait, Jordan and even in Iran, which adopts the principle of clerical rule, and here we can not ignore the role of religious authority Top Ali al-Sistani and his wise in many controversial issues, but that these views may not be binding on the political forces that do not follow rules, neither she nor popular reference Mr. Sistani, a list of the problem remains unresolved.



Even further away from the religious authority of good little find in the person of President Jalal Talabani, all the assets that qualify him to be a personal domesticated in the political blocs with their views as described by Mr. Sistani, the "safety valve" for Iraq, but this also bump up against the Constitution, where the president has to operate office for more than two elections, and the powers of the president, according to the Constitution also very limited, and opinions are not binding.



With the existence of democratic institutions in the country such as the Council of Representatives and the bodies may not be constitutional, such as the Political Council for National Security, but the hope is pinned to amend the constitution to leave no room for many interpretations, and the need to expand the powers of the president a way that ensures a timely intervention to find solutions to get out of the crisis, or the emergence of constitutional institutions and rule of personal space is fully respected the Iraqi street, and the political blocs and privileged to be referenced in the controversial issues that are difficult for the House of Representatives resolved.
