#1 Who has the time? What with ducking 5 prayers a day, pretending to memorize the Qu'uran when others are watching, which is most of the time, beating our women, and indoctrinating our children with Jooo mythology, well, we're booked up for another 1400 yrs - at least.

#3 I think that the elections were tailored to be boring. First and foremost, it allays fears in the government of election based chaos and democracy run wild. It gives other elements in the government assurance that this democracy thing is not particularly interesting to Saudis. Lastly, it helps women in their push for enfranchisement by saying, "Ah, who cares? Let them vote. It doesn't matter." In other words, it can be, and is, interpreted as meaning several different and even opposite things.
