1. Collectivist consensus did not survive because two conditions that made it possible did not endure. The consensus had existed in part because steady economic growth allowed successive governments to meet popular policy demands. In addition, British politics could be consensual only when there were not any deeply divisive issues. Both of these issues evaporated and so did collectivist consensus.

The best type of government for Iraq is a consensus based democracy apposed to a majoritarian government. Consensus democracy is the by far the fairest option because it allows for smaller political groups with limited support to have a voice in government. On the downside it isn't as efficient as Majoritarian democracy where the winners that take power direct policy so things get done quickly. With that said, in the consensus democracy, policy requires compromise. This is important in an unstable, violent country where people have weapons readily available. The key is having everyone represented. Majoritarian democracy can lead to flip flopping policies. (changes undone, redone, etc with different parties in power) Consensus democracy change is harder to make and can lead to more long term stability of policy. (same coalition members over time) Hope this helps!
