Others see that the more we are one step closer to the elections, the more the many leaderships call for the classic logos repeated during the previous electoral processes in Iraq, including the necessity to (respect the constitution), as it keeps the ruling class in its positions. The stream of logos will keep on until it takes us again into the useless and meaningless spaces in a world surrounded with lies and intrigues, for which the Iraqi people is paying the price.

Conclusions:

·         What scares many politicians is that their political fate became in the hands of the people whom they did not take into account during the last years, which is an evidence of the people’s ability for change.

·         Emergence of new divisions that can be harmful on specific levels, exposing a huge fragmentation in the political class; however, they are useful on the level of crossing sectarianism and ethnicity.

·         One of the electioneering types is issuing expectations that are not based on scientific fact, through publishing results of inaccurate surveys of the public opinion.

·         Most of the indicators show Iraq’s openness externally and internally and its advancement in understanding its new experience; however, there are real difficulties that face the building of a civilian modern state in it, depending on the actual institutionalism in managing its affairs.

·         The formation of the next government in Iraq will be one of the ring in which there will be an invisible and indirect conflict to push things in different directions, according to the conflicting parties.

Recommendations:

·         The Iraqi voter must choose well and prove his or her ability to change through voting, instead of complaining and frustrating at the deteriorated reality in all levels.

·         Politicians must work to exploit these divisions in a positive way, aiming at achieving a different political configuration that does not produce a sectarian and partisan quota.

·         The surveys must be issued by specialized bodies, such as the civil society organizations and the sober study and research centers, and they must be implemented according to the international scientific methods so that their results reflect the Iraqi public opinion more accurately and realistically.

·         This openness must be invested to arrange the priorities of Iraq in terms of the foreign relations and the internal requirements, whether they are political, social or economic.

·         The Iraqi politicians must keep Iraq away from the regional tensions and conflicts, and they must be up to the challenges of the upcoming stage.
