Kurdish Parliament success

[roily]

This from a interview with Qubad Talabini, son of Iraqi President Jalal Talabini and I am posting it becasue it puts a number to what the Kurds consider good for their cause.  

TC: What would be considered a success in terms Kurdish seats in the new parliament after the election?

QT: We have 55 seats right now in this current parliament but the national seat allocation has been increased from 275 to 325. Anything higher than 60 seats will be a good result for the Kurds, even if that's proportionally less. We have to be realistic; we do understand that there's a broader participation in these elections and that the three disputed territories is where the hottest competition will take place.
