It thus stood firm not just against the reform efforts themselves, but also in opposition to the king's own policies. The reform process in Jordan has largely stalled since the "National Agenda" was first proposed in 2005. Successive governments paid lip service to it, but dropped all references to its recommendations on political reform. The old election law -- structurally flawed to thwart the development of a strong parliament and a system of checks and balances -- has largely been left intact.
