The introduction is poor English, and very POV- "Politics of Qatar takes place in an undemocratic framework of an absolute monarchy whereby the Emir of Qatar is not only head of state, but also the head of government."

"There is no electoral system." - Er, they have municipal elections.

The following sentence is a non sequiter:

"To Western eyes, the Qatari authorities seem to keep a relatively tight rein on freedom of expression and moves for equality; but when compared to neighbors like Saudi Arabia, Qatar boasts one of the best standards-of-living and quality-of-life in its region."

Freedom of expression and equality are not the same as standard of living. One can have running water and a nice TV but still be prevented from expressing political views. Are Qataris really freer than Saudi Arabians or just richer? Someone who knows more should clarify the sentence. 142.167.164.146 18:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The government section of the "Outline of Qatar" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .

Thank you.

Various references in English seem to use either Advisory Council, or lower case legislative council or advisory council, or al-Majlis al-Shura, or similar. They more or less all mean the same thing, but we ought to try to find out what English-language name is preferred... Maybe the legislative council itself has a web site? with an English option?

Doesn't belong in this article. Material should be in main article and/or in Foreign relations of Qatar. Barring some objection, I'm going to move/delete as appropriate. --Federalist51 (talk) 22:13, 11 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
