Shafaq News / Salih Mohammed al-Iraqi's page disclosed, on Thursday, some of the reasons that pushed the prominent Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to quit politics:

"1-The government cannot be formed without involving corrupt, blind followers, and sectarians.

2-Independent MPs who had a neutral position of the national majority government; some for encouragement, intimidation, or lack of confidence.

3-Political blocs, and even some countries, insisted on forming a consensus government. For him (al-Sadr) this is unacceptable and unfair to the people and the nation.

4-Educated figures and parties, such as media professionals, analysts, professionals, technocrats, and others, did not support the national majority government project. Instead, some stood against it.

5-The absence of popular support even though the majority of the people encourage the national majority government project.

6-Beneficiaries, dissidents, and those who only seek pleasure in life inside the (Sadrist) movement might step in after national forming the national majority government, and put lat last national Shiite card at risk.

7-A Shiite-Shiite conflict occurred to share booties before forming the government. what happens after it is formed then?

8-Approving the law banning normalizing relations with Israel made foreign countries stand against the reform and majority project.

9-Forming a majority government will be faced with rampant corruption in all parts of the state, including the politicized judiciary.

10-Some naive people believe that the majority government weakens the (Shiite) sect, which is very sad, for the sect does not prevail through corruption, but rather through reform and the rejection of sectarianism."
