Muslim Brotherhood joins in threat to boycott Egypt election

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-election.html

"A coalition of Islamist and secular parties, including the Muslim Brotherhood, accused the country's military leaders of plotting to ensure that the former president's loyalists retained a significant presence in the first parliament of the post-Mubarak era. Elections are scheduled for November. ............... "


This is interesting. Seems everyone is wary of the military.

"...........The opposition coalition, which groups together 60 parties, has called for the lifting of a provision that prohibits parties from contesting one-third of the seats in parliament, reserving them instead for independent candidates who have traditionally been seen as shills of the Mubarak regime.

The coalition is also demanding the introduction of a law that could ban many former MPs with links to Mr Mubarak from standing for office for up to 10 years. ................."

Reads like they want an ALL muslim brotherhood ticket or nothing??

Gotta love the logic. If Mubarak and his cronies were so bad and so disliked, I would expect they would be ideal opposition candidates.. No body would vote for them..
