Being the official 'last' meeting before election mayhem and Ramadan, we can only hope we've seen the last of these idiots. Are we expecting that this year is any different than the last ten? Election,Ramadan etc kick the can till its January and repeat 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope that the deputies with terrible attendance will be canned. It’s how it works in the real world. That’s going to show up on a resume with Integrity. Good luck with that. I guess you've never studied attendance and vote records of OUR Congress....... LOL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Half Crazy Runner Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Maybe they need to lower the quorum requirement down to 3 members. If the MPs thought that laws they don’t like could get passed with only 3 votes, perhaps that would persuade them to show up and vote .. 😜 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I checked several reports from The Atlantic and CNBC. Average Senate absent rate is 3%, average HOR absent is 4%. So slightly better than the Iraq HOR absent rate which, this year alone, was 47%. Whatever the Iraqi's have learned from us about democracy, they still can't grasp showing up for work. But most will probably run for re-election. Amazing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10 YEARS LATER Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) When I worked in Kuwait during the war, it was very apparent the Kuwaiti Arab hired others mostly from India to do “ their work “ for them, run their businesses, construction work, office work and so on. Perhaps the Iraqi Arab would consider hiring others to do the apparently “ exhausting work “ of conducting the day to day Parliamentary business ? Maybe then we might have Quorums more than once in a Blue Moon. The possibility remains that the Hired Help might also be instructed NOT to attend: then sadly it’s all Bupkiss. There are always alternatives, however, some might consider them a bit extreme. At this juncture, I’m willing to try extreme.

Butifldrm Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 economic Legal: Sanctions against MPs absent from the parliament provide billions 09:56 - 18/04/2018 0 Post it on Facebook Twitter on Twitter Information / Baghdad .. The legal expert, Tariq Harb, said Wednesday that the absence of deputies from attending the parliamentary sessions would save billions of dollars to the state, ruling out the possibility of executing the sentence at the present time in conjunction with the upcoming elections. "The House of Representatives can not continue to hold its meetings during the current period, where the recent sessions were not the required level and it has become vague meetings," said the war, "noting that" the meetings in this period may be exploited media in the election propaganda, Where it is better to hold them at the moment and postpone until after the elections, especially as the age of the parliamentary session ends in July next. " And the war, that "a lot of deputies absent from attending the parliamentary sessions in the past and present, and this entails the penalties within the law, where the law provides in the Iraqi constitution to punish the absent MP to attend the session of parliament to cut the amount of 500 thousand dinars for each session absent MP About her presence. " He explained that "the presidency of the parliament has the power to dismiss the absent absent from attending the meetings by voting, but that never happened because everyone may be absent and therefore the interest of all deputies require not to vote on the dismissal of their colleagues in the Council." "The penalty will provide the state with billions of dinars that could be used to support the displaced or establish service projects," Harb said. "Parliament may apply sanctions against absentee MPs after the election period, especially the financial penalty."
