Egypt adopts constitution changes

Surprise surprise, the results for the referendum on the constitutional changes are in with the government announcing a handsome 75.9% approving the move.
As usual and as expected turnout was very low and depends on whose side you wanna believe with the government claiming 27% of the registered voters and the opposition putting the figure at a maximum of 10%, all the opposition forces had called for boycotting the referendum as usual.

No news really everything went as planned with the state security people holding a firm grip on anyone trying even to speak outloud.
But I should note that as I recall this is the lowest approval rate for the people on anything they were asked to vote for at least for the near future, I mean results lower than 98% approval was unheard of, no I'm not claiming that the process was fair or anything it's just something I noticed.

Anyway, nothing really would change with these amendments except maybe for the MBs whom by the looks of things are the biggest losers as now the constitution clearly states on banning forming political parties based on religious beliefs and the aspect of banning independent candidates from running in parliamentarian elections, so it should be interesting to see how the MBs would react.
And of course to anyone who actually hoped for a real shake up of the political life in Egypt and that the president and the guys at NDP were willing to give away some of their powers and allow any party to become a respectful opposition and pose a threat to them, well ehhh we've seen the end of that.
As for the emergency state, it is bound to become permanent and would be a normal state!
