There is no clear majority so unity must be sought after.

Debkafile said:
Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani’s United Iraqi (Shiite) Alliance of 16 parties pulled ahead of the pack in Iraq’s first democratic election, earning 48% and a block of 132 seats in the new national assembly – but not an absolute majority. In an earlier report published on February 4, DEBKAfile predicted that the UIA would not win a majority of the new house despite its claim of 60 of the electorate. Iraq’s 8.55 million voters (58% turnout) awarded 25.4% to the United Kurdish List, placing it in second place, followed by interim PM Allawi’s list with a disappointing 14%.

Despite the Sunni boycott, there was a 29% turnout in the Sunni Salah-eddin province.

The message the Iraqi voter broadcast loud and clear, therefore, was that any future regime in Baghdad must be based on a Shiite-Kurdish coalition. No single faction can rule alone.

The Shiite-dominated ticket received 4.075 million votes. A Kurdish alliance was second with 2.175 million votes and Allawi's list was third with about 1.168 million.

Of Iraq's 14 million eligible voters, 8,456,266 cast ballots, the commission said. That represents a turnout of about 60 percent.

Nor should they...excepting national emergencies. The purpose of multiple parties is to present a definitive political direction. Hopefully one party can convince enough people to agree with them that they have a majority consensus.
 
A strong dictatorial ruthless central government
is the only way to rule these savages?
 
I predict that in 5 years Iraq will be no more. Kurdistan in the north, Sunnistan somewhere in the middle and "Iraq" or Shiitistan everywhere else.
