You sir are correct. However, it only took the population one year to figure out they made a mistake worth fightin’ over, they didn’t re-elect it.

The list of MB promises broken to gain election is very, very long. Blatant lies. They did exactly what they promised not to do.
They studied Obama's techniques, no doubt. Seriously.

You are correct.... But the MB got only 21 % of the vote because the many opposing parties did not consolidate their political parties into larger blocks of voters...so the MB won and took it as a mandate to turn Egypt into a Islamic theocracy piecemeal by piecemeal....
Remember this thing called “democracy” is rather new to Egypt and hopefully version 2.0 will be better...if it ever happens...
