Mostly comprising electoral losers and remnants of Mubarak’s regime, some aim to topple Morsi, not just get him to backtrack on his decree. ElBaradei, for example, “expects” the army to do its national duty and intervene if “things get out of hand” – hardly a compelling democratic stance, given the army’s track record.
但反对派也不符合民主原则。他们大部分是选举中的失败者和穆巴拉克政权遗老，其中一些人的目标是推翻穆尔西，而不仅仅是要他收回成命。比如，巴拉迪“希望”军队行使其国家责任，在“事态失控”时予以干预——给定埃及军队的历史记录，这绝非令人瞩目的民主立场。
