UhOh: Sadr group quits Iraq ruling bloc
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6996942.stm
<snip>
Moqtada Sadr's move is not surprising, analysts say
The political movement loyal to radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr has withdrawn from Iraq's governing Shia alliance.

The move deprives Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's coalition of 30 votes - leaving it in control of about half the seats in parliament.

The decision, announced at a news conference in the holy city of Najaf, comes five months after Mr Sadr pulled out his ministers from the cabinet.

The group has complained that Mr Maliki has not consulted them over decisions.
