Egyptians pass new constitution by 63.5 % yes vote.

[AUz]

32.5 turnout , 63.5 yes.

Though the turnout is less, but the will of people have spoken.

Best of luck to Egypt. Now, opposition should shut their face. Co-operate with government on Economy and critical national issues.. In next comping parliamentary elections , if secularists win, they can push for amendments in the Constitution.

Welcome to democracy, Egypt!

Best of luck brothers. I hope Muslim Brotherhood goes the way of Turkey's AKP and win people of Egypt on the basis of their performance, and not on the basis of "oh we are Muslims blah blah" ...



New Constitution of Egypt seems great and balanced.

You can read this historical document here ...

Unofficial English Translation of Egypt's Draft Constitution | Atlantic Council

------

In summary, the constitution regards freedom of religion as absolute. It give individual liberty to every citizen and states it as a natural right. It vows to protect and enhance the Egyptian economy. Focus on agricultural sector of Egypt. Islamic Shari'ah is the basis of national legislation while Jews/Christians can use their own laws in the matters of their religion, family etc.

Muslim Brotherhood and salafis are different, they have different political parties in Egypt, but currently they are united against liberals. Otherwise, Iran would not be sucking up to them right now.

Best of luck to our Egyptian brothers in whatever they decide.

I'm not sure the published figures can be believed. Furthermore, voter turnout was under 30%. With such a poor endorsement what kind of authority do you think the gov't can wield? The M-B put its fingers into the stew and all it can grab at is the gravy, not the meat. Israel isn't at risk; like the Romans under the decemvirs, the M-B won't even be able to mobilize troops: Egypt has its greater home-grown mess to worry about.

Joke of the year 2013...
You must have forgotten who are west's best allies in the M.E... its the extremest ... so the west can always have an excuse to interfere in the M.E... and you forgot gcc and the west?

 

[twilight]

IMO USA using foolishness of these Salafi extremists to scare western people ...

These extremists put more damage to Islam than enemies of Islam .... sigh ....

 

[AUz]

Muslim Brotherhood is moderate. Now, let the mess settle and see what Muslim Brotherhood has got. I really hope they deliver a great performance. Secular Opposition's leadership just seem bunch of crying babies. They have no vision or depth.

Salafis should be put into their bloody place!

#EgyConstitution : The Silent Majority is back For real

And Supreme referendum commission “SRC” has announced the official results of the constitution referendum :

• The eligible voters in the constitution referendum : 51,919,067 voters
• The no. of voters who casted their vote in the referendum : 17,058,317 voters
• The official turnout : 32.9%
• The valid votes : 16,755,012 votes
• The null votes : 303,395 votes
• The no. of those who approved the constitution : 10,693,911 voters “63.8%”
• The no. of those who rejected the constitution : 6,061,101 voters “36.2%”

In other words the constitution is approved by 63.8% out of the 32.9% who showed up to vote. This is low regardless of what you think with all my respect to the idea of democracy and so on. We are speaking a constitution that affect the future of the country.

I will not comment on how MB managed RSSD Facebook News pages knew the results days before the SRC exclude the null votes and the problematic polling stations. I will not comment on how the SRC ignored completely the complains of the Christians in Upper Egypt on how they would not be let to vote because it is useless to debate in this stage.

I will comment on the fact that this is a very low turnout , we are about a turnout of 32.9% out of nearly 52 million voters in a referendum that will change not only their lives but the lives of the people.

I will comment on that very low turnout compared to the March 2011 constitutional declaration referendum. In march 2011 the SCAF’s constitutional declaration was backed by 77% of the voters. The turnout was 41.2% of 45 eligible voters then. I think to be fair there are important factors we should consider :

Egyptians who work in different governorates were free to vote where ever they are.

Already I remember that queues in my polling station in March 2011 were the biggest and we had to wait for hour then queues disappeared in each election till we reached to December 2012 referendum.

It is like the silent majority is back to its silence. The majority of eligible voters did not go and vote on the charter that will affect and change their lives , this is extremely dangerous in transitional times.It is as if people lost faith in the democratic electoral process.

The Muslim brotherhood and Islamists got the constitution they want and the silent majority is back to its silence and its mistrust in democracy as it seems.

 

[KingMamba]

Why didn't Egyptians go vote..... they have only themselves to blame if they do not like this outcome.

 

[Abii]

well there goes Egypt.

New Iran I guess. The tokhme sag religous thugs came to power in Iran in 79 and everything went to the royal crapper, now the same will happen in Egypt (100 times worse b/c at least our religous baboons aren't salafi/wahabi terrorists). Iran is 33-34 years ahead of Egypt and thankfully we'll get rid of ours faster.

Egypt, see you in 4 decades and be strong.
