A small majority

It seems to me the Arab Spring in Egypt is only just beginning. Toppling the President is easy but moving on from there is a lot harder than most people would think. The army is proving to be a tough nut to crack. They won't give up power so easily as that would mean losing their hold on a lot of other things as well, including a kind of life that only those in power can have. I think it will need another spring before true democracy can prevail. Back home, GE 13 is nearing. The opposition will have to go against tremendous odds in order to win it but I'm sure they will win, by a small majority.
