No, not 95%. The first parliamentary elections were understandably high in 2005 at 79.6%. The most recent election in 2010 had turnout drop to 62.4%. That election was rife with complaints about fraud and mass banning of candidates from running for office.

Just today the Shia-dominated Iraqi government issued an arrest warrant for their Sunni Vice-President and requested a vote of no confidence against a Sunni deputy prime minister, the two highest-ranking Sunni government officials. The cracks are already forming and we just removed the last troops 3 freaking days ago. It's only a matter of time before it collapses.
