Mehdi Karrubi or Karroubi has a reasonably clear platform roughly half of which are things Freepers would support.
His policies seem to be: (from Wiki)
1. Returning to the planned-based system of governing and using the elite and experts in decision making process
2. Organizing financial policies and increasing the effect of national budget
3. Protecting human rights and people’s privacy
4. Improving women’s social status
5. Nationalizing oil profits
6. Supporting NGOs
7. Supporting the right of religious or tribal minorities
8. Supporting the domination of law and opposing and criticizing illegal behavior
9. Supporting the press and free access to the information and internet
“His main economical programming is letting people to hold the stocks of oil and gas companies and share oil profit. These stocks will be shared among Iranians above 18 years of age without the right to sell. He has predicted that this will add 70000 Tomans a month to every Iranian’s income.”
In contrast: I can’t find much about what Mousavi wants, except that he wants to promote the creation of private, non-governmental TV networks and get rid of the religious police. Which sounds fair enough as far as it goes.
There was some talk (from Mousavi supporters) about Karroubi not running so as to avoid splitting the reformist vote. But it looks like the votes weren’t counted anyway :0(
