Some pointed out to the tendency to support the alliances that reflect a desire to see a reasonable political path towards the expansion of the regime legitimacy by breaking the monopolization of the parties dominating it, and the transition from the political mobilization centered on the identity to the mobilization based on the social and economic needs.

Conclusions:

·         There are no ideal experiences from the first attempt, the most important thing is the advancement in the right direction, and failing that is due to the short sightedness among most of the politicians in Iraq.

·         Iraq does not move according to the stages that the states went through within the experiences of the transition from dictatorship into democracy.

·         The last elections produced new political equations, which can be a beginning to the end of the monopolization of one party or more to the state’s positions.

·         The lack of vision of the upcoming government especially in developing an organizational structure that respects and protects the opposition and prevents its exclusion.

·         It is very possible for the last elections to establish a form of democracy that is not sectarian or ethnic, as those names were a mean to gain votes previously, while in the last experience, they became a condemnation to whoever call for them.

Recommendations:

·         The political decision makers must have a deep vision that enable them to predict the events in a way that achieve maturity and depth in their political performance to serve the country and avoid the price of the missed opportunities.

·         Those who hold all the political cards in Iraq must work to benefit from the experiences that many of the world’s states went through in the transition from totalitarianism into democracy, taking into consideration the Iraqi environment.

·         All the winning blocs must benefit from the change occurred during the elections, make this change a reality in the executive administration of the state, and start to get rid of the sectarian and partisan quota.

·         The opposition must have a respectful status and a voice in the state’s administration, legally and executively, and it must have immunity that protects it from the political domination.

·         The change occurred in the last electoral behaviors is an evidence of the change in the collective behavior of the Iraqi society, and although it is a relative change, it deserves consideration by specialists in this field.
