New agreement, more seats and nothing changed

About 21,30 Bagh­dad time, the par­lia­ment announced that it reached an agree­ment, no details and infor­ma­tion avail­able are very lit­tle, but as far as I can find, the par­lia­ment agreed on the following:

Khalid Al-Attiyah, Deputy-House speaker said that the agree­ment is 325 seats in the par­lia­ment, 310 to the provinces, adding 3 seats to Kur­dis­tan and 15 as com­pen­satory seats, which means “every­body” got extra seats (or their seats back) except Iraqis abroad who are still at the 5%, which is the rea­son made Hashimi to veto the first law.

Per­sonal opin­ion, no com­ment from Hashimi yet, but I don’t think he want to go through this again and veto the law, Hashimi will find a way to save face.
