  1. @shimaagamal like I say it all seemed so random..people havent really had time to decide their political allegiances
  2. @shimaagamal hmmmm....I pegged it at middle class in their 40s or 50s....it seems random
  3. @shimaagamal what ages and what classes do you think?
  4. @myasz I know it's not scientific or representative but I do represent some part of the Egyptian electorate
  5. @Aziza23 ?
  6. I guess I'd better start reading up on Mohammed Mursi then....get some idea of what to expect :-s
  7. @OsamaLFC @deena_adel yeh I'm impressed....the only one I know to have predicted it all
  8. @deena_adel and yet he didn't make it either....so strange. Nothing from everyday life translated into this election
  9. @shimaagamal but tata7 was very popular...I'm sure of that. I thought more so than Hamdeen or Shafiq
  10. @deena_adel right....surely we're not completely unrepresentative? My entire family (bar myself and another cousin) voted Aboul Futoh
  11. @_SalmaHesham_ بس استفدت إيه؟ بردو مش فاهمة...
  12. Strange election and I really do wonder if it was 100% fair....
  13. I'm surprised Aboul Futoh didn't do better...so many people I know voted for him. I'm also surprised at how completely defeated Amr Musa was
