Jordan's king on Sunday called for changes to make parliament more representative, after Islamists avoided last month's national poll saying rules were pitted against urban areas where they have most support. Jordan's powerful tribal establishment, which is strongest in the countryside, won most seats in the national elections January 23, after the Islamic Action Front blocked the vote. King Abdullah told the opening session of the assembly that electoral rules must change to make the multi-party democracy better. These were the first elections since the king put constitutional changes into place last year. This relates to the social and political PIEs because it has to do with the King and the parliament and the people are largely affecting the decisions. This relates to class because it has to do with the King and how he wants to make the parliament more relatable to the public.
