Kuwait's is the best democracy in the Arab region there is a strong parliament, MPs who say what they need and want to, a people with freedom of choice, and freedom of press and media. Imperative still is to allow political parties, which would counter tribal and sectarian sentiments that could be seen in Arab countries. Still, it would be better to have clearer division between the prerogatives of the executive and the legislative authority.

The constitution divided the privileges and prerogatives of the ruler and pointed out the power of the people and gave citizens full rights.ĭemocracy is "what the people want and choose," and this was Kuwait's policy since 1962. "Political parties are a pillar of the democratic political system." Alyoum Elsabe Editor in Chief Abdelfattah Abdelmenem meanwhile said Kuwait's spring did not start on the heels of the wave of the so-called Arab spring of recent months, but actually started with the state's announcement and adoption of its constitution in the early 1960s. The next development that Kuwait should aspire to, he believed, was allowing formation and recognition of political parties. This, he stressed, is always present in a true democracy. Saying Kuwaitis should be proud of their achievements so far, he stressed they should not be overly disturbed by some of the loud voices and tug and pull at parliament. This, he explained, is because the election process in the Gulf country is not tainted by forgery and is conducted in transparency.

KUWAIT, Jan 16 (KUNA) - "Kuwait has been in spring since its independence in 1961 and this could be seen through a mature and lively public participation on the one hand and a political leadership keen on giving its people the right to participate in decision making on the other." The remark was made by Editor in Chief of Egypt's Al-Sabah Al-Arabi newspaper Hussein Shamardal, and carried sentiments shared by many other Arab media figures regarding the democracy in Kuwait and its upcoming elections, expressed at the 2012 elections media center.
