Moroccan reforms: Toothless.

Moroccan king announces referendum on reforms

Morocco in the early days of the Arab spring experienced large protests for example this one of 23k, Morocco protesters demand political change (20 Feb 2011)  and the king promised  changes that would dilute his absolute hold on power.

However by retaining an ability to pick the prime-minister, the post will be nothing more than a puppet for the king.
