After the Arab Spring, the domestic political situation in Kuwait is in a state of stagnation. In 2011, there were massive popular protests in the country led by the parliamentary opposition, directed against the arbitrariness of high-ranking officials and for the implementation of political reforms. The protests ended after the resignation of Prime Minister Nasser Muhammad al-Sabah, accused of corruption, which was the main demand of the protesters.  In subsequent years, the confrontation between the parliamentary opposition and the government became permanent and led to a series of political crises. Changes in the composition of the parliament that took place after next elections did not change the current situation. The author's analysis of the activities of both parties demonstrated  that this state of things is caused, on the one hand, by the policy of the authorities, who sought to avoid serious shocks and not upset the existing balance of power. The maintaining the status quo, which became the main goal of the ruling elite, was demonstrated during the period of power change in the country after the death of Emir Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah in 2020. The new emir Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah continued the political course of his predecessor. On the other hand, such a policy continuity is in the interests of the Kuwaiti society, which was also not determined to change. It sought to maintain stability in the face of an aggravated regional situation. That is why the national idea of “unique family of all Kuwaitis” persists.
