TEHRAN (Iran News) –The electoral system in Iran is neither similar to the parliamentary democracy in other countries, nor can it lead to the emergence of the most deserved or popular candidates, an Iranian daily argues.
A day after the parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections were held in Iran, Etela’at wrote in an article on Saturday, “For decades, all sympathizers and experts have been talking about the necessity to change the election mechanism, which does not contribute to electing the best candidates, nor is it comparable to other parliamentary democracies.”
The daily also called on the lawmakers in the new parliament to show gratitude to those who voted for them as well as to the establishment and the country by “serving the people without making them feel beholden.”
