Iraq bloc rejects alliance based on religion, ethnicity

Many Iraqi political leaders blame sectarianism for country’s longstanding problems

Former Iraqi Prime Minister and the head of the al-Wataniya bloc Ayad Allawi 

 

BAGHDAD 

Iraq’s Al-Wataniya Bloc, led by Vice President Iyad Allawi, announced its refusal on Friday to join any political coalition based on religion or ethnicity.

Negotiations remain underway between Iraq’s leading political coalitions with a view to forging a majority bloc in parliament that will be tasked with drawing up a new government. 

At a Thursday meeting in Baghdad, Al-Wataniya officials ruled out the notion of teaming up with any parties or blocs established on a sectarian basis.

Many Iraqi political forces, including Al-Wataniya, blame the country’s political “quota” system -- which is ostensibly aimed at ensuring fair representation -- for the violence and corruption with which Iraq has been plagued since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

The quota system was initially set up by Paul Bremer, who was appointed head of the Coalition Provisional Authority (Iraq’s post-invasion U.S.-led interim government) in 2004. 

Under Bremer’s quota system, the post of president is reserved for a Kurd; that of prime minister for a Shia Muslim; and that of Parliament Speaker for a Sunni Muslim.

Once Iraq’s Federal Court approves the results of a recently-conducted manual recount of May 12 parliamentary poll results, incoming MPs will hold a first session to elect a new assembly speaker.

Within 30 days of that first session, the assembly will elect -- by a two-thirds majority -- the country’s next president.

The president will then task the largest bloc in parliament with drawing up a government, which must be referred back to parliament for approval.

Thug, those birds have great accuracy.  Funny

Maliki is spending some of that 50 b to bribe people to keep a seat at the table. Rubbish, and I agree with you Chuck.

I call BS on this one. I just can not see anyone being so ignorant in Iraq as to allow an  Iranian influence run the Iraqi government, knowing just how desperate and pig headed Iran is right now...

THe state of law isn't even involved in the largest block they were cast aside.

[SupraRacer]

The State of Law is SOL( yes the are $&!? out of luck) as far as the new government goes.  Abadi is defecting from them and Sadr told them to kick rocks along with Malarky.  So they are just spewing more crap just to think they still run things with big mouth Malarky.

[Pitcher]

Have to agree with you jcfrag.   

[new york kevin]

What about the 100's of millions of dollars/dinars has Saudi Arabia given them. Kuwait? The USA? The EU? The IMF? 

[ChuckFinley]

Would be interested to see what Sadr is saying. This is just opposite of everything he stands for.
