Well neither can Americans but somehow the world allows them to keep electing idiots. And the Italians have elected a known criminal over and over again! We should take away their democracy too. Not to mention the nearly 20% Le Penn received in France. It seems the French can't be trusted either...

If you poll a non-developed country, you won't get accurate results. Ever.

^^

this is very true. Furthermore, I would guess that polls in non-developed countries with a further history of authoritarian rule are even worse


In Arab countries it's actually very hard to count the population, much more "do polling" (the last census in Lebanon, for example, country considered much more developed than Egypt, was before WWII).

Stop thinking for a moment in European/American terms, when you're talking about very diffrent part of the world, for heaven's sake!

Yes, I read that Egypt likely has a population of about 100 million, with would be 20 million more than the official government estimates.
