The large majority wanted this type of system back in 1979. Looks like they got it.
That's a total twist on history. The large majority didn't want this system, the Mullahs hijacked the revolution. Most of the groups demonstrating were either nationalists or leftists. Most of the people in the government were secular nationalists up until Khomenei had them killed.
There was an article i posted earlier from 1980 after the revolution where close to half a million demonstrated against possible mandatory veil.
That's because of the way elections work in Islamic countries. One man, one vote; ONE TIME!
The Mullahs don't have to stand for reelection.
