Back to the Polls in Kuwait

The Kuwaiti government's continuing efforts to avoid having the Prime Minister questioned by Parliament has led to another government resignation and imminent dissolution of Parliament. This had been expected for a couple of weeks, but now it has occurred.

It's the third dissolution in three years, the second in a year. It means going back to the polls, probably in mid-May, to elect a new Parliament which will, inevitably, clash with the government at some point and seek to question the Prime Minister . . .

The fact that the PM is a senior member of the ruling family is, of course, where the problem lies. But it seems unlikely to lend itself to easy solutions.
