1 Yes Members Parliament! 6/5/2012 5:17:37 PM
His majesty "publicly" asked the Parliament to take serious political reform steps, including a new election law, before new Lower House elections are held this year. But the present Low Lower House should be thanked for its great accomplishments: 1-- Salaries for eternity for the members of the lower house 2-- Diplomatic passports for the members of the parliament 3-- Other numerous benefits for the members 4-- The CLOSING of the CORRUPTION cases 5-- The 75 votes of confidence in the "government" after the mockery exchange of notes between Dughmi and Tarawneh making fun of the members...etc. Therefore, and as a thank you gesture for the "reform" steps taken by the Lower House, there should be NO election this year!
