Since its inauguration in March 1996, the Palestinian legislative council has failed to accomplish its two main objectives: to enact substantive legislation and to exercise oversight over the Executive Authority. An elected member of the council, Abu-Amr outlines reasons that he believes have contributed to the legislature's failure and analyzes the implications of this failure for the future of democracy in the West Bank and Gaza.
