All over for Morsi?

Re: All over for Morsi?

The protesters represent an anti-democratic movement that are ideologically opposed to Morsi. Even though he won the election, the have been hell bent on negating his legitimacy.

One of Morsi’s biggest problems was that the opposition simply would not co-operate with him. The result is a political body that is absolutely ineffective. In hindsight, it would have been better for the brotherhood to have supporetd a conservative party that was out of the Islamist fold. At the very least, their influence could be applied while still having a functional government. Yes, Morsi’s performance has been bad, but he hasn’t really been in a position to govern.

However, it should be understood, imho, that had the Islamists done the same (protest against a secular government), they would have been totally ignored at best, or brutally repressed. This puts the brotherhood in a survival mode. I can’t blame them for hardneing their stance against a mindless mob.

I don’t know if the Army has the will to step in at this point.
