Members of the National Assembly are divided into three categories – a few are sincere and serious who work with all their might and have devoted themselves to do what they have been elected for.
There is also a considerable number of MPs who speak and participate in the work of the committees, are active outside the Assembly and serve the voters of their region to gain their votes, but such members have many shortcomings and do shy away from making money, even if they know it is illegal and their votes in the Parliament are characterized by reservation. These fall in the second category of MPs.
As for the last category, they are few and famous for their silence. They do not participate in any discussion, and do not speak because they do not possess the minimum level of eloquence or fluency, and I do not know how thousands of voters chose to cast their ballots in the favor of such MPs who do not possess even half the qualities of an MP, and they almost play no role in voting during the interrogations.
When one of them offers a suggestion, many raise their eyebrows and others make a mockery because in him they see a ‘typo’ and yet others wonder if the person is really an MP. I am sure and I confirm that there are MPs whose names are not heard by a majority of the people although they have warmed the green seats for four years.
The question: How did members of the last category succeed in the past elections, and represented people of their constituencies since the 1960s? To answer this question, it is necessary first to clarify that success in any elections, and in any country in the world, requires one, some, or all of the following:
Great financial ability, with a good reputation, legal knowledge, life experience, ability to rhetoric and convincing personality to gain the confidence of his constituents in addition to the pledge to devote himself to serving the people of the region and passing their transactions.
In the absence of a party system, everyone who possesses the above capabilities will have greater chances than others to win the green seat. The question remains: Why do we always find MPs in all Assemblies who are idle with no voices?
The answer is and always will be with the government, for these people would have not been elected without government support, and that is why we hope the government or whoever represents it on the scene to stop such issues, and pledge not to pass the transactions of these voters.
The presence of such MPs in the Parliament can be looked upon as sabotage, and their attention is only paid for the individuals who elected these silent MPs, and whoever benefited from his vote in the Parliament. Their presence resembles a ruin and corruption of parliamentary life and the foundations of justice inside and outside the Parliament.
Note: There was a lot of confusion recently about a deputy who lacked the most basics of a parliamentarian, but he has a surplus of the opposite. On a ‘sad national night’, he met two girls, attacked them and caused serious harm to one of them, but he escaped accountability.
Since this person became a deputy in 2008, many have been wondering: How did this happen to a parvenu and talked about naturalization?
