PLEASE NOTE THAT **** REFERS TO THE MYRIAD OF NAMES AND TITLES USED BY EACH MEMBER OF THIS FAMILY
Q8 prides itself on its version fo democracy. It would not cut any ice in any civilised country in the west. The Al-Saber Mafia [sorry, the Al-Saber ruling family] have apparently held power for two centuries and as part of the conditions for independence as a British Protectorate wrote their democratic constitution. This is how it works:
The Amir **** Al-Saber chooses a prime minister, always another **** Al-Sabah [if you concentrate you might spot a pattern if you are lucky. The Prime Minister **** Al-Sabah then selcts a cabinet of unelected ministers whose surname just happens to be Al-Sabah. Strange that… how they seem to appoint brothers, half-brothers and cousins! This is called THE GOVERNMENT. They decide the big things because they are such a very clever family.
"Oh! Bumholes! Time to dissolve the ELECTED parliament yet again speech!"
Now there is the parliament which is elected and in 2006 they allowed women to vote and also to stand for office. These menial MPs are really there for windowdressing and only seem to get little things to discuss.
Occasionally an MP can file a grilling motion so that the elected parliament can ask questions of the Government. The Government does not like this idea of explaining their actions so much so that the Amir keeps dissolving the elected parliament for being nasty and horrid to his family.
The amir then orders fresh elections for the sole purpose of getting a nice, pliable parliament in the interest of National Unity aka Al-Sabah family interests!
In February, there two outstanding grilling motions on the books. Then, Q8 hosted the Arab Summit lavishly, no expense spared. The Prime minister **** Al-Sabah seems to have misplaced some £60millions of the budget and nobody knows where u its gone!
Now some of those scalliwags in parliament set up another grilling motion as they believe that the Al-Sabah’s have trousered this money somewhere! The Prime Minister **** Al-Sabah goes to see big brother, the Amir **** Al-Sabah who gives him an sick note so that he does not have to meet those nasty elected members and answer questions. he scalliwags want their moment in the sun…. so good old Amir **** Al-Sabah dissolves parliament for being very naughty boys and upsetting his half brother!
[Footnote: Q8y women keep their own family name when they marry. This fools people into believing that the only female cabinet minister is not an Al-Sabah. [Nope, she’s an in-law apparently!

Q8 Undressed 
You should get your facts straight and not just foam at the mouth:
There are two appointed female ministers
I apologise for this mistake… but let me guess she will be an Al-Sabah…… all these Al-Sabah’s including the one who thinks he is bigger than FIFA…
Foaming at the mouth, really, anyone who cares about democracy and not the Al-sabah window dressing version, should be foaming at least
Why are the Q8Ys so docile, unquestionning… perhaps its the wasy they are regualrly bought off by the Government eg having their credit c ards bill paid for them etc….
Sad, that your only comment revolves around a factual error of little importance. The main point is that the country is ruled by a family who are unwilling to tolerate any criticism or accountability. I believe Article 6 of the Q8 constitution says something to the effect that the government of the country belongs to the people [presumably the Al-Sabah people]
