The Muslim Brotherhood rolls on...

The multi-stage parliamentary elections will finish up in a couple weeks, but already the Muslim Brotherhood has shown it has the grassroots support it needs to be a viable political force . . . in a functioning democracy, at least.

The numbers don't lie:

444 - Total available parliamentary seats
15 - Number of MB candidates in the last parliament
1/3 (148) - how many of the available seats contested by an MP "independent" candidate
75 - Seats the MB has won so far - with one more round to go.

Let me put it do you this way: the MB has won HALF of the seats they've targeted. With one round to go.

Cry tears, secularists.
