"We will not participate in the new government and we will vote against its approval in parliament. This won't change the result of the vote but it's a matter of principle," a spokesman for the Fadhila party said.

The party holds only 15 seats in the 275-seat chamber and its vote is unlikely to affect overall results but its stance underscored continued disputes ahead of a May 22 deadline for formation of a government.

That is their right in a democratic government. Let us hope their sentiment is in the minority and more do not jump onboard. It would go a long way towards restoring faith in the government if they approved Saturday.

All these approvals only need 138 votes, so the Virtue Party could just as well stay home that day...
