71% of Egyptians have told pollsters that they don't want to see Mohammed Morsy or the Muslim Brotherhood back.
The Egyptian Center for Public Opinion Research-Baseera survey found that 71 percent of Egyptians
opposed the Brotherhood's protests. A year of Morsi and the
Brotherhood's rigid policies and inflexibility that failed to address Egypt's economic crisis has left many Egyptians frustrated.
"The real problem that we're facing right now is from the time of
President's Morsi's taking over, it has been a zero-sum political game.
It is all or none and that is mainly the reason he was pushed out of
power, because he would not share it with anyone else. He would not
succumb to the opposition," Wael Eskandar, an Egyptian blogger with Al Ahram, said in an interview with Russia Today.
"And now that he has been pushed out of power, the same attitude
prevails, that they are not willing to make compromise at all and the
reason is because the organization is bent on dominating and pushing
their way of politics. It is difficult to see any way out of this
without any side compromising."
The poll found that 78 percent of men and 65 percent of women
disapproved of the protests. It also found that younger people are more
sympathetic to the protests then their elders.
"[T]he people right now are disenchanted with the MB that they are
willing to accept anything but the Muslim Brotherhood, which is a sign
of how polarized things are at the moment and how the Muslim Brotherhood
and Morsi made matters inside Egypt," Eskandar said.
So why does the West keep trying to bring him back?
