The role of political parties in building the Iraqi state after 2003

Political parties are among the most important collective means through or through which democracy is achieved. Over time, these entities have acquired a special importance and an influential power in controlling the direction and control of the rules of the political process, as well as governing in the vast majority of the world’s systems based on the relationship between individuals and the political system. Which has always been characterized by intertwining and complexity, which led to the possibility of saying that when individuals are challenged, their participation in political life is more effective and effective, and its results are larger and more profitable, as they have stronger means to impose their demands and greater opportunities to achieve their goals and aspirations by employing the material capabilities that they enjoy. And personal capabilities that make them a single collective force.

     The importance of the research is reflected in the absence of a law for political parties, which means that there is no legal control for their establishment, and this would unleash these political entities to move without any legal deterrent, as well as the danger that political parties can pose in Iraq in light of the democratic transition if it is not There is a legal officer governing it, so it can do whatever it wants to achieve its goals and objectives without there being any impediment to that.

     The research concluded that the political party is a regular gathering whose goal is to participate in political life with the intention of seizing power in whole or in part so that it can realize the ideas of its members. While the parties are expected to inform citizens of their programs, so that they can choose among them when determining the identity of their government, and if governments lack laws that stipulate what parties are entitled to or prohibit them, states may practice arbitrary policies in which there is little or no public accountability. If governments enact strict laws that specify how parties should organize themselves, their campaigns, and their work, then states can dissuade or prevent political parties from participating in public affairs.
