Why bother voting?****

"Yes, we voted him in, but we tend to change our minds (and have no bloody idea what we do)."


Voters are cheering up the army which is – rather undemocratically, I’d say – trying to coerce a democratically elected head of state into accommodating chaotic demands of largely the same people who a short while ago voted the politician into power in the first place.

Rings a bell?
That's right - democracy.



Democratic pundits getting things right. Again...

 
PS Of course Egypt’s President Mohammed Morsi was extremely likely to turn out to be an inept, inefficient* and incoherent politician.** He was elected democratically.  
  


Democracy: to go


*which in his case, if the rest of the description is appropriate, is a significant advantage.
**if he is one, as the masses claim; but then again, masses are usually wrong, so he might be an outstanding chap after all.
 *** or let people vote?  wonders Sphinx.



But we keep calm (and think of Dualism).
