Please do not insult her for that! She was also a journalist with the financial times for 15 years, she helped with the LSU matter and she is very good, very classy and very effective. It's NOT HER fault that the way Kurdish society is structured is very old-fashioned and there are aristocrats everywhere...but she did work...and I mean regular work without anyone treating her like a princess as a journalist and I think she is doing a good job in London now for Kurdistan.
That being said, the structure of any viable and prosperous society must allow participation from more than just the dynasties, or the political families...you have to have those to start with right? I mean, where would Kurdistan be without those who were there to lead, but it also must transition to a system of competetive ideas and not just assured elections based on names right?
So, you work with what you have, and then you improve on it. Not everything need be dismanteled to be improved. It will be an evolution, but the people must be informed of this evolution. It should be explained better, that voting for name or family ONLY, can never lead to a society where the representatives actually work on the people's behalf.
Never look down on somebody unless you are helping them up.
You grow up the day you have your first real laugh.... at yourself.
