Based on the link

Based on the link fozolie provided it appears this was another "Islamic Republic; yes or no" LOL

Looks like Mossadegh wanted a constitutional monarchy but Reza Shah wanted "Pahlavi Monarchy, yes or no".

I can imagine others cutting off Mossadegh and the other dissenters ala Dr. No in Austin Power movies :-)

Mossadegh:  I think Shah should not ...

Reza: zip

Mossadegh: Monar ...

Reza; it! zip it!  Yes?

Mossadegh: constitu ...

Reza: or no? Yeeees?  or  Noooo?

Everything is sacred.

Why would Mossadegh

by Anonymouse on Fri Jul 24, 2009 05:24 AM PDT

Why would Mossadegh and others vote to keep Qajar?   

Everything is sacred.

blame it on old age

Admin: I will send the original file. Regarding the number, Ari is right it was the 3 socialists led by Amir Soleiman Eskandari who abstained.  The 4 (not 3) (Mossadegh, Taghizadeh, Moddaress and Ala) was against the bill calling for formation of the  Constitutional Assembly in the parliament.

4 dissenting votes in October

by Ari Siletz on Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:50 PM PDT

Fozolie, according to Keddie (Modern Iran) a vote was held in October 1925 where Dolatabadi, Modarres (or Ala, if you believe Badiozamani), Mossadegh, and Taghizadeh voted "no" to depose the Ghajars. In December 1925 (your photo), the Majles met  to amend the constitution endorsing Reza Khan as the new shah. In that meeting, Keddie mentions, three "Socialist deputies" abstained. She does not give names. Who do you think she means?
