    Baghdad/Al-Masala: The Iraqi parliament suffers from a state of political paralysis that hinders its legislative and oversight performance, as partisan and political differences have become a major obstacle to passing necessary laws and exercising oversight over the executive authority.
    These differences reflect the divergence of interests between political blocs and directly affect the effectiveness of the parliamentary institution.
    The most important influential factor is the failure to reach a consensus on the presidency of the House of Representatives.
    The presidency of the council is a barrier to passing important legislation, as ongoing differences hinder the voting process on basic laws.
    The oversight role of Parliament is absent as a result of some MPs being preoccupied with personal interests such as tracking transactions and blackmailing governments, which weakens parliamentary oversight.
    Parliament is facing difficulties in passing important laws such as the general amnesty law and the oil and gas law. These laws are vital and affect the Iraqi street, but political deadlock is obstructing their enactment.
    Another reason for the suspension of parliament is the absence of representatives from sessions, whether due to suspension of membership or travel without the knowledge of the Council Presidency, which reinforces the feeling of lack of commitment and responsibility towards their constitutional duties.
    The political paralysis that the Iraqi parliament suffers from reflects a weakness in the ability to reach consensus between the various political forces. These differences not only affect legislation and oversight, but also threaten the stability of executive institutions and contribute to the spread of corruption, which further deteriorates citizens’ confidence in parliament as a representative body.
      The most prominent examples of parliament's failure:
     Suspension of the Oil and Gas Law:
    The Oil and Gas Law is one of the most important pieces of legislation awaiting approval in the Iraqi parliament. This law constitutes a fundamental pillar for regulating the relationship between the central government and the Kurdistan Region regarding the distribution of oil revenues, but disagreements between political blocs over the regions’ shares and the rights to exploit resources have delayed its approval for many years.
      Failure to pass the general amnesty law:
    The general amnesty law is one of the pieces of legislation that many Iraqis were waiting for, especially those who are calling for the review of some criminal cases and giving a chance to prisoners who were not proven to be involved in serious crimes.
     Lack of parliamentary oversight of the government:
    One of the most important tasks that parliament should perform is to exercise oversight over the government’s performance and ensure its accountability. However, the Iraqi parliament has clearly failed in this area, as many observers have indicated that some members of parliament have become preoccupied with achieving personal or partisan interests, instead of following up on the work of the executive authority. This oversight failure has contributed to the exacerbation of the phenomenon of corruption in state institutions, as no serious measures have been taken to combat corruption or hold negligent officials accountable.
     Failure to address the political crisis over the presidency of the Council:
    One of the most prominent examples of parliament’s failure to perform its role is its inability to resolve the issue of the Speaker of the Council of Representatives. The ongoing disputes over who holds this position have greatly hampered legislative work and led to the suspension of the passage of many important laws. This crisis has further complicated the Iraqi political scene, as some parliamentary blocs feel marginalized and unable to influence decisions, which increases the state of political division.
