It's Official: Egypt's Constitution Approved With 63.8 Percent |
2012-12-26 |
Egypt's new constitution, drafted by Islamist supporters of President Mohamed Mursi, has been approved by 63.8 percent of voters in a two-round referendum, the supreme election committee said Tuesday. The result, which followed votes held on Dec. 15 and on Dec. 22, matched an earlier unofficial tally given by Mursi's Moslem Brüderbund. "We have seriously investigated all the complaints," judge Samir Abu el-Matti of the Supreme Election Committee told a news conference. The final official turnout was 32.9 percent. |

#7 Like hell, in a time of "Crisis"(Made up "Fiscal Cliff") it won't happen, we badly need to look after our own people There'll be about $2 billion US foreign aid, lesser amounts from other sources like the EUros and the IMF, and the money will come from "somewhere". |

#3 the new constitution isn't that much worse than the previous one except that it has a more serious blasphemy prohibition and less rights for women like other constitutions, there is considerable ambiguity the really horrible thing however is that there is both mob and brownshirt power ready to bend the actual practice of law toward the islamofascist direction |
