Well this is what you eventually get when the ‘political class’ has always been, or increasingly becomes dysfunctional.
Just because a grouping is ‘secular’ does not mean it is a decent alternative or not as corrupt as the day is long. The CURSE of virtually all countries in this area is incompetence in league with corruption. That simply drives the illusion of Islamist ‘purity’.
Even with the wolf at the door the the two center-right parties splintered and fought each other. Idiots usually get what they truly deserve.
The problem is that often they take everyone else down with them. The difficulty is not really the Islamists; the difficulty is the ‘secularists’. They are incompetent and corrupt and ‘objectively’ deserve to lose. And evidently they will.
I like you don’t really see a ‘good’ solution here. My guess is however that the Islamists will soon proove themselves every bit as venal and incompetent as their alternatives. As I said — it is the CURSE of the entire region. And it appears to be a permanent fixture .
