The absence of political party maturity and political freedom is an ailment that infects most of the Arab world.  In Jordan virtually no one is a serious member of any political party, and the vast majority of elections and voting is based on tribal relationships rather than policy.  Enter the "Maan List" in 2016.  Kais Khalil Zayadin is a young lawyer who jumped into politics and became an elected member of Jordan's parliament since 2016.  But the platform he and his colleague Khaled Ramadan ran on was brazenly secular and liberal.  So it was a shock to most (except Kais) that they won 2 seats amongst a sea of conservative &amp; religious MPs.   Kais discusses his platform's tenets: Equality, Social Justice, Civil State Democracy, Citizenship and Rule of Law.  These headers sound generic, but for Jordanian politics if you act on these values in a literal sense, you're ahead of the pack and in a league of your own.  Why are Jordan and its Arab league nations politically underdeveloped? How has this weakness effected policy making and reforms across all sectors?  And is there a path forward?
