BLOGGING JEWISH IN DUTCHESS
The first round of Parliamentary elections in Egypt gave the Muslim Brotherhood 40% of the voters and about 27% of voters supported the Salafist Al-Nour Party. Since in this first round of votes the seats up for grabs were 168, one could conclude that the Islamist parties as a whole captured 113 seats, right? Wrong. The election system is district based much as the one in the US, with the winner in each district taking the seat. According to preliminary results, the Freedom and Justice Party (Muslim Brotherhood) and the Al-Nour Party (Salafis) captured together 120 of the 168 seats. Following them was the Egyptian Bloc, a liberal coalition that includes socialists, social democrats and liberals. What are the consequences of these results?
