All-inclusive government does not make for democracy – UIA politician

Abbas al-Bayati, a member of parliament who represents the United Iraqi Alliance, has there will be no “red or green lines” to discriminate for and against party lists [in the formation of a new government]. More negotiations were needed to complete the process, he said. Having all political blocs represented in government would not constitute democracy, he said, but there should be opposition voices in parliament to check on the executive’s performance.
