>Secondly, the Kurds make up 15-20% of the population but got 25% of the vote whereas the Shias make up 60-65% and only got 48%. That would suggest Shia turnout was rather dismal. Or that the Kurdish turnout was very high, which it appears to be. And the reason for that is because 10 out of every 11 Kurds (according to a poll) believe that the election will bring them closer to independence. Well, both......if Shia turnout was as high as the Kurds, they would have had 60% of the vote and not 48%, and the Kurdish turnout would be down to 15%. Interestingly, no one seems to want to go near what the total turnout figures were for all voters......I bet it was less than 60%. As for the Kurds, sorry but Allah hit them with an ugly stick. Scary looking people and scary acting.......what they call dancing, I call people gyrating just before they lose it! ted
