Since 85% of Iranian voters decided that it was worth taking part in the last election, their decision must be respected. Although their options were limited, many of them had enough confidence that the reformist candidate would not only get elected, but also make life a little better.
并没有一个绝对准绳来衡量如何在这些难有作为的情形下行事，所以人们必须依据每次选举的实质来评判。因为有85%的伊朗选民决定值得参加上一次的选举，他们的决定必须得到尊重。虽然他们的选择有限，许多人却有足够的信心相信改革派的候选人不仅能够当选，还能改善他们的生活。这也是为什么70%的选民在1997年把票投给了改革派的总统候选人莫哈默德·卡塔米。
