Egyptian liberals warn new election law could hurt Women & Coptic #Christians #xcot #tcot #jcot

RRD:As expected the Egyptian Military continues to collaborate with the Muslim Brotherhood to craft the new election law.As I have noted before I see two possible explanations for this collaboration.1.The Egyptian Military is sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood.2.The Egyptian Military wants the Muslim Brotherhood to take power so that they can then dispose of them in a coup and inherit the mantle of Mubarak.Neither bodes well for the Arab Spring.
As noted in the article below the election law would encourage tribal loyalties and likely reduce the chance of women or Copts being elected to public office.
