مع الف قلعة

but, as long as the same incompetent bunch keeps running for seats in the following elections, the status quo continues its presence.

I propose a ban on all former members of parliament and ministers for the sake of allowing the younger, tribally sickened, generation to have a say in how things are run.

Talk about efficiency. Either the Parliament building does not have dollies or because everyone is moving out they settled with misusing of expensive wheeled chairs to move stuff.

As if they are telling them” you were killing your selves and killing people for these chairs….ok go and take the chairs with you ”

Hope people learned from their mistake in chosen a non qualified people to represent them, and try to fix it next time

I swear I saw his majesty in my dreams in the night before the historic decision he was very angry and said he is fed up with everything, he left the hall angry .

No the ball is in our court, the people of Jordan will decide either to build a political and modern parliament or to plunge in corruption again.

hope this decision would make a change

Thank you Abu Hussien

It amazes me that everyone is overlooking the most important and static element of this whole sorry saga! its not the lower house or the cabinet at fault!

Don’t these “newly unemployed” MPs still receive salaries after they were practically fired?
12 Nas on Nov 25th, 2009 said:

@hamzeh: no i think they abolished that law a while back. they need to have been re-elected like three times i think.

I read not too long ago that there may be a new requirement of having a Bachelor’s degree to be able to run. I think that is a genius idea. None of the tribally driven un-educated bums will be able to run next time.
