EVENT:
Parliamentary elections in 2007 will be held under a new electoral law, which is in the process of being finalised.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Political actors are split over the extent of constitutional reform, even if they are in agreement over its necessity. The new electoral system will probably only reinforce parties that are reluctant to press the monarchy for real reform. However, it will influence the composition of the next parliament -- the one most likely to carry out any reform -- and therefore the scope of reforms enacted.
