What would happen if two opposite parties in Morocco were to leave their differences aside and show an extreme amount of flexibility in opening up to each other? The Authenticity and Modernity Party and the Justice and Development party could avoid a large deal of the political debate through an unexpected and likely initiative. Such an initiative could rid the political scene from the repercussions resulting from the race to form alliances, of which many are not based on objective approaches. The same goes for alliances that seem un-natural. However, matters that are not denied by politics might become plausible. The alliances that were formed between the disputing Moroccan cities showed that there are no red lines in forming any alliances even between opposites. This is further enhanced when the goal is to obtain a parliamentary majority allowing for a smooth transfer of roles. The partisan alliances in Morocco have always had political objectives rather than intellectual programs and references. The collapse of ideological systems has served to overcome the theoretical obstacles. The rest of these collapsing systems were substituted by the borders separating the possible from the impossible. The principles of good governance replaced the inertness of the ideologies. But the necessities of the alliances were rather closer to the logic of classifying allies into either pro-government or pro-opposition sides. In this sense, nothing prevents two opposite parties from opening up to each other in the event that they decide to put their differences aside and to proceed together on the same track. It is quite possible for such an important event to take place. Even the countries that undergo wars against each other only do that in order to reach peace. Peace treaties are not signed between friends and allies but rather between adversaries and enemies; and in politics, there is no constant adversary or steady ally. And if the goal is to find the convenient circumstances in order to achieve positive normalization and the conditions of the political game, nothing prevents the discussion of all the possibilities that might help in proceeding to the new phase. The most likely possibility is that two parties seem to ally together under the realm of the opposition regardless of the nature and kind of that opposition. But the reasons that caused them to opt for this position must push them to make use of it with the purpose of aborting the obstacles that are preventing their agreement. This is especially important since such a development will lead to a different political situation not only limited to shuffling the cards and undermining the axioms but rather to re-arranging the priorities. One can consider that the conflict between two parties aims at achieving the highest possible level of gains for every side. Such a conflict may be classified in the framework of a political behavior that aspires for battles and cannot strive without them. But most importantly, one must be concerned about the interest of the country and political life if that conflict was to persist. The common characteristic is that the Justice and Development party used to support the government of Abdel-Rahman al-Youssifi before breaking the connection. This was also the case of the Authenticity and Modernity party, which supported the government of Abbas al-Fassi before breaking away. However, the two parties proceeded with their conflict. But it is perhaps now time to end this conflict as long as the two parties did not cancel out each other. The conflict is not just limited to these two parties. Right before the November electoral deadlines, the Moroccan sky is ridden with rainy clouds and other clouds that will just go away. So far, it seems that the lineup of the highest number of parties in this or that camp constitutes the standard for measuring power in light of the fact that no party or bloc can feel at ease with respect to obtaining a comfortable majority. Such an initiative, whether it falls in the context of a maneuver or a conviction, will definitely stir the stagnant waters. It might also zero the pre-elections calculations or cause the rest of the partners to breathe or to ask for additional doses of oxygen. This is because the image of the alliances is getting clearer between those parties that want to achieve scoops, and others that want to maintain the status quo. It is hard to tell which sides have used up their roles, and which sides are still waiting. However, there is a need to open the eyes widely. There are other facts being formed on the ground that might pull the rug from under the feet. Those who need to look further might benefit from casting a meditation look on their surroundings. In politics, there is no room for mistakes. Only the compass appears and disappears. A smart man is a foresighted one.
