chattels: Conclusions :chattels: http://ift.tt/1VVUHjk
chattels: Abadi’s experience as Iraq’s prime minister teaches us an important lesson: Changing the prime minister without changing the paradigm of and formula for governance in Iraq has not yielded signicant results. The ethno-sectarian paradigm now prevailing in Iraq will keep limiting the prime minister’s room for maneuver, while depriving him of the leverage necessary to initiate major reforms.
The prime minister’s political effectiveness depends on his ability to create a consensus around his policies, or else to impose his own options if a consensus cannot be achieved.
This is why both Maliki and Abadi sought ways to build autonomous political constituencies. Maliki did this by exploiting sectarianism and patronage to consolidate his support base within his Shia community, which in the end further polarized Iraqi politics and made it difficult to bridge the gap between communities

chattels: Kirk H. Sowell @UticaRisk 10h10 hours ago Why does Abadi keep thinking he can just take over the govt? He has no electoral base, was elected by factional consensus.
chattels: Kirk H. Sowell @UticaRisk 10h10 hours ago And Abadi keeps making the same mistake. It is like he has a political blind-spot, doesn't realize there will always be reaction v. him.
chattels: Kirk H. Sowell @UticaRisk 10h10 hours ago Abadi's response to FinanceMin Hoshyar Zebari's rejection - strong on "reform" rhetoric; weak on legal argument. LINK
chattels: Kirk H. Sowell @UticaRisk 10h10 hours ago I'll note here that Abadi only made legal quorum in the cabinet again after the 3 Kurdish ministers returned. He is in a very weak position.
chattels: The necessary conclusion is that Iraq’s main problems are systemic and related to the way the whole political system is structured. A Shia prime minister like Abadi needs to command a broad constituency that is loyal to and supportive of him in order to make the concessions and compromises that a new political compact would require.
Abadi, although armed with good intentions and the desire to make a difference, lacks such a constituency and, as a result, has not been able to make those changes.
chattels: " ................ despite improvements in his style of governing, Abadi could not make a signicant alteration regarding major political issues, especially those pertaining to relations with the Kurish and the Sunni groups, constitutional reforms and political and security arrangements in the war against ISIS. "
chattels: In the increasingly polarized Iraqi political climate, Abadi, indecisive and lacking the tools to implement solutions to Iraq’s problems, might be the next victim of the country’s dysfunctional system.

chattels: al-Abadi told the political blocs to postpone the swearing-in of new ministers until the end of the battle of Fallujah and the parliamentary crisis

chattels: " the prime minister told the political blocs to postpone all those belongings until the end of the military to liberate the city of Fallujah operations, and the announcement of the Federal Court decision, for the return of the healing of the parliament. "
chattels: http://ift.tt/1tnxc7j
chattels: There is the possibility that the parliamentary crisis could be resolved by agreement of the political blocs which would obviate the need for a judicial determination. Certainly " healing " is important even if the crisis must be resolved by the Federal Court therefore it is preferable for the political blocs to make a constructive resolution by agreement.

There is news today that the high court may be procrastinating on a decision to allow / encourage just such and end or new beginning and resumption of reform measures. Court decisions empower the " winner " and alienate the " looser ". Iraq needs a consensus for reform born of a common vision and purpose in the near and longer term.
Whether Fallujah will be fully liberated in the next several weeks is another question. The ISF appear to still be " stuck " on the outskirts and neighborhoods of the city centre. Many observers believe that the hardest fighting remains to be done in urban Fallujah.
There are reports of considerable civilians remaining in " downtown " Fallujah and the land mines / booby traps may be more severe at the center of town.
My conclusion is that it is very unlikely that there will be any parliamentary business accomplished until at the earliest in July. Is parliamentary approval necessary to meet the conditions attendant to the IMF loans ? Not sure. We wait and see. Nothing is certain in Iraq.
