Peaceful political process is a dialogue, and the democratic process is a debate. Without dialogue and debate stop the political process and the democratic process together. Can not think of a political process without dialogue, without turning, as the political process to an armed conflict or stagnation, and lack of democracy without debate and turn into a monopoly and the uniqueness and dictates. All these phrases are not democratic.
supposed to live the life of the country's political democracy. This means that dialogue and debate are the most prominent features of public life in it. Are practiced dialogue and debate in the state institutions of democracy: parliament and the government, media and civil society organizations, public gatherings, such as the mosques, churches and Almzaiv and other places where people congregate, formally or spontaneously.
if missed dialogue and debate on these forums, it means that this forums are disabled, have no role in public life, it means a disruption of the democratic political process itself.
and if it refuses the activities of the political process of dialogue and debate, he can not talk about a political process of any kind in the country. in dialogue and debate trades people, for example, ways to reform the political process . And reform is an ongoing process, as long as the political process, human phenomenon of human beings inflict on what caused the shortage and lack of mistakes and in ideas and perceptions, practices and business. As long as human beings, our van all need to repair all the time. Does not reject the discussion of fancy, but perfect in himself and his works, or fear of exposure error and defect in it. Both types are not qualified to be a party to the political process.
Parliament and the government are the most prominent institutions of the political process. First of legislation, oversight and implementation of the second and governance. Since the beginning of peaceful democratic political experiment in Iraq after the fall of the dictatorial regime backward nine years ago, we can not deny the existence of deficiencies and shortcomings and mistakes in this process, specifically in the parliament and government. Reform requires Parliament to build on the foundations of a healthy democracy, such as neutrality and integrity of the presidential members of congress and respect for the political blocs represented in the Constitution and law and order and to participate actively in the search key issues of concern to the country. And government reform requires a clearance of party representation and compliance and the illusion of the elections, for example. And reform the entire political process to address disadvantages of incorporation include such confusion between consensual democracy and democracy numerical, for example. All these things can not be discussed and solutions to correct them at the risk of threats and arbitrary deadlines and the like, that approach puts a spoke in the wheel. But it must be discussed calmly and objectively to meet at the table of dialogue and discussion and one pool on all sides her observations and perceptions, ideas and securities reform, either the meeting of the national general, or within the parliament, as well as pages of newspapers and television and public forums. This is the way, I do not imagine the wise policy since Aristotle other way so far!!
