Parliament's Role and Alternatives
The Jordanian Parliament has lost its oversight and legislative functions due to practices such as restricting debates and excluding representatives from dialogue. This has led to a decline in public trust in the institution of Parliament, and consequently in the hereditary royal parliamentary system. The core issue lies in reducing the role of Parliament to just a tool for passing laws approved by the government, without genuine discussion or respect for constitutional principles. This threatens the stability and democracy of the system. Such developments raise questions about alternative ways to represent the people and uphold their rights, and the possibility of resorting to street protests or a decline in elections. Meanwhile, a democratic system requires strengthening the role and powers of Parliament in accordance with the constitution.
