Iran Special: A Beginner's Guide to Today's Parliamentary Elections - 1 views

  •  
    There are 290 seats in the Iranian Majlis, with members serving four-year terms. The chamber is officially led by a speaker. There are no political parties as such; instead, blocs or factions can emerge. The Parliament is dominated by "conservatives" and "principlists", a term usually applied to the political wave since the election of President Ahmadinejad in 2005.

    Mar 3rd 2012 | from the print edition from the print edition | International WHEN Barack Obama used a text message to name his running-mate in 2008, it was a novelty. Now it would seem lame. The new gimmick is "m-campaigning": reaching voters through their internet-enabled mobile gadgets.
