Egypt elections
With the elections in Egypt, a parliamentary government will soon take the place of the military government that took temporary control after Mumbarak agreed to step down. With 70% of the Egyptian population taking part in the elections, democracy is well on its way in Egypt. The fact that the elections were somewhat disorganized is no surprise considering the fact that it was their first actual election. Reports of violence in some polling stations should have also been expected considering the tensions that many Egyptians have felt as of recently in relation to their resistance of military rule. The Freedom and Justice Party (The Muslim Brotherhood) stands a good chance of gaining much control in the government. This is the first step in a brighter future for Egypt and its people.
