What are the main cultural differences between the Arab world and the western world which results in parliamentary politics failing to adapt to Arab culture the same way it has in the west?

Well it is strange to say that parliamentary politics adapted to western culture when it is an invention of western culture. And many of the issues of life thelse struggling nations stems from two issues. First, there is little sense of national identity. Most people hold little loyalty to there nations or the system in their countires. Their is an extreme xenophobia of any outsider. This makes working with others in governemnt much more antagonistic and hard to build a functioning system. This leads to the issue of few people feeling invested in the national government. This makes it easier for ambitious individuals to take over the government's with a few key supporters. This means that the leaders extract what they can for their supporters and thus the people get even less from the National government and care even less about it except as a prize to be won.
The disconnect between the tribal corporate elements of Arab society and the state apparatus. Western parliaments are a gathering of self-organized societies who fight and ally with each other for leadership of an even greater society that incorporates everyone at said parliament. When parliamentary government was brought to the Middle East, it tried to rely on these self-organizing parties instead of the system that already existed in the form of tribes, which ended up giving a single tribe which was the most privileged under the colonial regime almost completely control of the state apparatus.
