Iraq's Transitional National Assembly Projection
"National Assembly Projection," by "Stephen," Iraq Election Discussions, http://iraqelect.com/index.php/archives/2005/02/08/national-assembly-projection/, 8 February 2005.
Iraqi ElectionsDiscussions projects the final outcome considerably better than mine.
Seats - Party/List
140 - United Iraqi Alliance (Shi’ite)
68 - Kurdish List
40 - The Iraqi List (PM Allawi)
3 - Natl Elites & Cadres (Moqtada al Sadr)
3 - People’s Union (Communist)
3 - Iraqis List (Pres. al-Yawer)
3 - IMIK (Islamist Kurdish)
15 - Other parties
275 - TOTAL SEATS

Combined, this gives a UIA-Kurdish coalition nearly 76% of the votes in the TNA. Consider the Basic Law's three-fourths rule, where a Constitution can be created with 75% of the Assembly votes and no need of provincial approval, this could be a very powerful government. Of course, UIA is already a coalition and it's likely that at least some UIA Assemblymen are sympathetic to either Allawi or Sadr.
It is wonderful to see what the government of a free Iraq looks like. Long live democracy in the Greater Middle East!
