Iraqi Parliment

[coorslite21]

Thought I'd start this one on the Iraqi Parliment......I know very little about how the Iraqi government works.....or doesn't?

 

I see it takes 165 to get a majority........and when I read articles it seems they rarely have many more than 165 show up....Add to that 11 different groups....with 55 free agents (Others) comprising the largest group......

 

I think I understand why they never accomplish anything.....

Any thoughts are appreciated
