The results of two days of Egyptian elections are in, and it looks like the run-off will be between the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Mursi and former Mubarak PM Ahmad Shafiq. The BBC reports that the two remaining candidates are seen as representing very different strands of Egyptian society. Mubarak’s former prime minister Shafiq is regarded by many as a representation of the old secular regime. Mursi represents a popular strand of political Islam that was excluded from the political process for many years during the Mubarak reign, identifying with the revolution. Mursi has openly said that he’d seek to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel. Shafiq says he will keep the camp David accord intact because he ‘honors old agreements’.
On “Real News” Friday, the panel discussed the progress of Egypt’s first election after a revolution so far, and what realities Israel and the U.S. will face with one possible administration over the other.

Posted on May 25, 2012 at 8:00pmIts funny that all the other countries of the world have rounds of elections and even run-off elections if no canddiate receives >50% of the vote.
Meanwhile in the USA, there is only one vote and someone like romney or clinton can win with <50% of the vote. This makes it impossible for ANY 3rd party to emerge (cuz nobody wants to 'throw vote away') and makes a mockery of our representative government
