Floridian Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 (edited) If so, what's the point of having an election? 4-5-2018 Newshound Guru Kaperoni Article: "Maliki is seeking a third term amid disapproval of the Iraqi street" Remember the elections are not choosing a PM. In fact the elections are not choosing anyone. Maliki on his second term stated it is not who wins or what block wins, but who can create the largest coalition of blocks after the election. So yes, Maliki does have a chance. Edited April 5, 2018 by Floridian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReVbo Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 It’s a parliamentary system, Floridian, very similar to what they have in the UK and Canada and various other Western democracies, and Kap is right about how it works. That said, recent polls have Abadi’s coalition gaining 78 seats to Maliki’s State Law coalition’s 19. Maliki doesn’t have nearly as many friends in the other blocs, either, so Abadi is very likely going to remain as PM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, ReVbo, that's what I want to hear - that Abadi is very likely going to remain as PM. Hope you are right! Let me ask you something - Have you read Zul's response to "Explanation of 90-Day Rule" in the Rumors Section? Can you read it and comment? I would like to know if you agree with this. Thanks.

Luigi1 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Evidence exists, Iran is backing Maliki & interfering with Iraq elections. Maliki supports a weak IQD, currency auctions & ISIS to maintain control. He'll continue to transfer Iraq's wealth to Iran while keeping Iraq down. Iran & Russia has a lot riding on these elections. Russia is also trying to reduce US influence in the region. Abadi must give Iraqis a reason to re-elect him...the RV. If he fails to...he just committed political suicide. IMO. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel very similar to this Luigi, Abadi has gotta pull a rabbit out of his preverbial 🐫 Jockey 🎩! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckFinley Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Anything tied to Maliki is bad news, bottom line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
