"Failing to acknowledge the critical role of Islamism in Morocco ignores the role Islam plays as the connective tissue between all of its institutions. A democratic Islamarchy is a version of Islamism that is more palatable to Western democracies than Islamism itself in any other country. For as long as there is a pro-western authoritarian king in place, the public at large can extol the Islamists’ parliamentary rise, confident that King Muhammad will never allow the “one vote, once” phenomenon to occur, and confident that legislature will remaining an echo chamber—loud at times but void of power and prone to royal manipulation and division."
