they don't represent anything. They use the religion to brain-wash people in order to win in the elections

YOUR COUNTRY´S POLITICAL MAP: Could you please describe in few words which are the groups of power in your country? Which of them are new? In which aspects do they represent you? In which not?

Currently, the two major political parties are Islamic ( Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis ), Politically - for me - the two are big failures to Egypt not because of their Islamic look or way of thinking but because of their week decisions with the Government and the SCAF. also, they together form more than 50% of the parliament and they are still weak to face the SCAF or judge the previous dictator president. I would describe the Egyptian political map now as a paralyses of democracy and a fake choice done by politically ignorant Egyptians. Unfortunately both of them are not new, they were in prison but this is the first time they form the majority in the political scene. For me, they don't represent anything but using the religion to brain wash people's mind in order to win in the elections but after that they appeared to know nothing but their concern to control the political scene. There is also the liberal party but they are still weak because they are not supported by the majority in Egypt.
