أثر النظام الانتخابي على الاستقرار السياسي في العراق : انتخابات مجلس النواب العراقي ٢٠٢١ أنموذجا

الملخص EN

The generalization of the adopted assumptions about the impact of the type of the electoral system on the political reality is something that cannot be accepted in general.

the political stability inherent in the electoral system by the majority, as seen by many specialists, and the political instability inherent in the proportional representation system is a variable and relative factor that depends on other factors.

the electoral system it is not a direct factor in the stability or instability of the system of government as much as it is a mechanism for translating electoral votes and an aid to controlling the work of political parties and alliances within parliament to form the type of government, whether a majority or a coalition, but the selection of the majority electoral system in Iraq and its adoption in the legislative elections of 2021 did not exceed structural problems of parties, alliances, and parliament's composition, the problem of not obtaining a parliamentary majority for one of the parties or lists remained present after the election results, as well as the problem of the most numerous parliamentary bloc, and this indicates that there are other factors that have the greatest impact on political stability, including the social factor represented by the nature of the voter's political culture, and political and constitutional factors that push towards political instability, in addition to the lack of most political forces of sufficient knowledge and information about the nature of the work of the majority system and its political effects.
