This just shows one of the limitations of representative government in general, and of proportional representation in particular.

I wonder if Iraq would have benefited from a popularly elected president, instead of a PM chosen by a coalition of parliamentary representatives. The party situation in Iraq is currently just too damned unstable for this to work, IMO.
