#3 note that the "reformists' pushing for high turnout in the above article are moderate followers of Khatami, who look for limited lifestyle improvements "more concert halls" and try to appeal to the hardliners on the ground that a more broadly based regime would be stronger against the West. It seems that this only adds to the reasons the genuine democrats and radical reformers have for boycotting the election, since 'the "external enemy" ...exerting pressure to keep the regime on a crisis footing, while sending messages of support for the Iranian peopleâs fight for freedom and democracy' seems to be their best hope.
